it seems like the man is too old for her (a dotard gaffer). the man (the grunter) calls the woman very bad things, including an undeserving person who's getting more than they deserve (a parched sot getting soothing ale, a hamlet for a slothful vassal). The lady says she isn't as evil as he says she is. the woman says she was happy at the beginning but now she leaves (the guy forces her out of his life and hopes she loses everything).
PS: It took me sooo long to decipher the old vocab and then realize the many metaphors they used in the lyrics. I wished normal people knew these words...
