- But trusteth wel, I am a Southren man,
I can nat geste—rum, ram, ruf—by lettre,
Ne, god wot, rym holde I but litel bettre;
And therfor, if yow list, I wol nat glose.- But trust well, I am a Southern man,
I can not recite ‘rum, ram, ruf,’ letter by letter,
And, God knows, rime I consider but little better;
And therefore, if you wish, I will not deceive you.
