[...] ‘And ye, my moder, my soverayn plesance
Over alle thing, out-taken Crist on-lofte,
Custance, your child, hir recomandeth ofte
Un-to your grace, for I shal to Surryë,
Ne shal I never seen yow more with yë.’- ‘And you, my mother, my greatest joy
Over all things, except Christ above,
Custance your child commends herself often
Unto your grace, for I must go to Syria,
Nor shall I never see you again with my eyes.’
