We shall now seek that which we shall not find

The month of May was come, when every lusty heart beginneth to blossom, and to bring forth fruit; for like as herbs and trees bring forth fruit and flourish in May, in likewise every lusty heart that is in any manner a lover, springeth and flourisheth in lusty deeds. For it giveth unto all lovers courage, that lusty month of May.

For as well as I have loved thee heretofore, mine heart will not serve now to see thee; for through thee and me is the flower of kings and knights destroyed.

With that truncheon thou hast slain a good knight, and now it sticketh in thy body.

The very purpose of a knight is to fight on behalf of a lady.

The month of May was come, when every lusty heart beginneth to blossom, and to bring forth fruit.
