And feble, that he walketh [by potente];

And with his ire he thus him-selven shente.

And who-so axed him wher-of him smerte,

1225

He seyde, his harm was al aboute his herte.

176. Pryam ful ofte, and eek his moder dere,

His bretheren and his sustren gonne him freyne

Why he so sorwful was in al his chere,

And what thing was the cause of al his peyne?
