It happened on Friday, Midsummer Eve, in very hot weather - as this creature was coming from York carrying a bottle of beer in her hand, and her husband a cake tucked inside his clothes against his chest - that her husband asked his wife this question: 'Margery, if there came a man with a sword who would strike off my head unless I made love with you as I used to before, tell me on your conscience - for you say you will not lie - whether you would allow my head to be cut off, or elese allow me to make love with you again, as I did at one time?''Alas sir,' she said, 'why are you raising this matter, when we have been chaste for these past eight weeks?''Because I want to know the truth of your heart.'And then she said with great sorry, 'Truly, I would rather see you being killed, than that we should turn back to our un-cleanness.'And he replied, 'You are no good wife.'
