1. Oh recall the covenant that was between us
Though time be long, still shall I call it to mind

2. Deny not the friendship of old and troth plighted
Neither I forget it nor disavow in my mind

3. And the kind, fair deeds you did aforetime
Despite my estate, still am I mindful of them

4. After you twain no friend have I found
To help me in need and to solace my mind

5. No comrade in learning and conning of lore
To teach me in friendship and join in my mind

6. Then what shall I do if the days bring me grief?
And what shall I do if horsemen press on my mind?

7. So I spend my night lone, with troubles enow,
Naught else but sad thoughts in my mind
