'Thou hast wel herd,' quod she, 'the fables of [the poetes],
how the giaunts assaileden the hevene with the goddes; but forsothe,
the debonair force of god deposede hem, as it was worthy;

that is to seyn, destroyede the giaunts, as it was worthy. But wilt
thou that we ioignen to-gider thilke same resouns? For per-aventure,
of swich coniuncioun may sterten up som fair sparkle
of sooth.'
'Do,' quod I, 'as thee liste.'
