Yit hath it proved other wise,

To se the worchinge of the dede:

For in Cronique this I rede;[833]

Anon as he hath mad the yifte,[834]

A vois was herd on hih the lifte,

Of which al Rome was adrad,

And seith: ‘To day is venym schad 3490

In holi cherche of temporal,

Which medleth with the spirital.’[835]

And hou it stant of that degree
