This other day, nought [gon] ful longe whyle,

In-with the paleys-gardyn, by a welle,

Gan he and I wel half a day to dwelle,

Right for to speken of an ordenaunce,

How we the Grekes mighte disavaunce.

74. Sone after that bigonne we to lepe,

And casten with our dartes to and fro,

Til at the laste he seyde, he wolde slepe,
