What sholde I lenger sermon of it holde?

As ye han herd bifore, al he him tolde.

139. But right as floures, thorugh the colde of night

Y-closed, stoupen on hir stalkes lowe,

Redressen hem a-yein the sonne bright,

970

And spreden on hir kinde cours by rowe;

Right so gan tho his eyen up to throwe

This Troilus, and seyde, 'O Venus dere,

Thy might, thy grace, y-heried be it here!'
