To live with her all your life.

RIOT.
A wife? nay, nay, for God avow,
He shall have flesh enou',
For, by God that me dear bought,
Over-much of one thing is nought;
The devil said he had liever burn all his life
Than once for to take a wife;
Therefore I say, so God me save,
He shall no wife have:
Thou hast a sister fair and free,
I know well his leman she will be;
Therefore I would she were here,
That we might go and make good cheer
At the wine somewhere.

YOUTH.
I pray you hither thou her do bring,
For she is to my liking.

PRIDE.
Sir, I shall do my diligence
To bring her to your presence.

YOUTH.
Hie thee apace, and come again;
To have a sight I would be fain
Of that lady free.
