He yaf an issue large, and 'deeth!' he cryde;

And in his throwes frenetyk and madde

He cursed Iove, Appollo, and eek Cupyde,

He cursed Ceres, Bacus, and [Cipryde],

His burthe, him-self, his fate, and eek nature,

210

And, save his lady, every creature.

31. To bedde he goth, and weyleth there and torneth

In [furie], as dooth he, Ixion, in helle;

And in this wyse he neigh til day soiorneth.
