[Sidenote A:  “Good morrow”, says the lady, “ye are a careless sleeper to
  let one enter thus.]
[Sidenote B:  I shall bind you in your bed, of that be ye sure.”] [Sidenote C:  “Good morrow,” says the knight, “I am well pleased to be at
  your service;]
[Sidenote D:  but permit me to rise and dress myself.”] [Sidenote E:  “Nay, beau sir,” said that sweet one,] [Sidenote F:  “I shall hold talk with you here.] [Sidenote G:  I know well that you are Gawayne that all the woild worships.] [Sidenote H:  We are by ourselves;] [Sidenote I:  My lord and his men are far off.] [Sidenote J:  Other men are in their beds, so are my maidens.] [Sidenote K:  The door is safely closed.] [Sidenote L:  Since I have him in house that every one likes, I shall use my
  time well while it lasts.]
