ABSTRACT
Confessio Amantis 399 For charitee take in his mynde, And do so, that she be begrave: With this treasour, whiche he shall have.1
Thus whan the letter was full spoke, Thei have anone the coffre stoke 1140 And bounden it with yron faste, That it maie with the wawes last, And stoppen it by such a weie, That it shall be within dreie, So that no water might it greve. And thus in hope, and good beleve, Of that the corps shall well arive, They cast it over borde as blive.
