Antony is shent, and [put] him to the flighte,

And al his folk [to-go], [that best go mighte].

Fleeth eek the queen, with al her purpre sail,

655

For strokes, [which that wente as thikke as hail];

No wonder was, she mighte hit nat endure.

And whan that Antony saw that aventure,

'Allas!' quod he, 'the day that I was born!

(80)

My worshipe in this day thus have I lorn!'
