Nothing to say, yet
Transcription
The speaker is questioning why a maiden is working so hard for them, when they used to live a luxurious life. They suggest that the maiden should stop working and let them handle their own tasks. They mention that they will tend to their crops in the morning, emphasizing that hard work is necessary for survival, even for those who rely on faith. O, why, poor maiden, doubts thou toil so hard on my behalf, thou that aforetime o'erreared so daintly? Why canst thou not forego thy labor, as I busy? If I such thy pleasure go thy way, for, after all, the spring is no great distance from my house, and at daybreak of day I will drive my steers to my glebe and sow my crop, for no idler, though, he has God's name ever on his lips, can gather a livelihood without hard work.
