| Swift foot to my Lady Anhes | P |
| Seeing that Tristan's lady Iseutz had never | C |

| Of Audiart at Malemort | T |
| Though she with a full heart | T |

| Her straight fresh body | T |

| - | |
| Her white teeth of the Lady Faidita | T |
| I ask and the fine courtesy | T |
| She hath to welcome one | X |
| And such replies she lavishes | P |
| Within her nest | T |
| Of Bels Mirals the rest | T |
| Tall stature and gaiety | T |
| To make these avail | D |
| She knoweth well betide | T |
| No change nor turning aside | T |
| - | |
| Ah Bels Senher Maent at last | T |

| As I've for you such flame lap | Z |
| And yet I'd rather | C |
| Ask of you than hold another | C |
| Mayhap right close and kissed | T |
| Ah lady why have you cast | T |
| Me out knowing you hold me so fast | T |
