123. He gan first fallen of the werre in speche
Bitwixe hem and the folk of Troye toun;
And of thassege he gan hir eek byseche,
To telle him what was hir opinioun.
Fro that demaunde he so descendeth doun

To asken hir, if that hir straunge thoughte
The Grekes gyse, and werkes that they wroughte?
124. And why hir fader tarieth so longe
To wedden hir un-to som worthy wight?
