And fell so, as it scholde be,

This faire dowhter nyh this Sone

As thei togedre thanne wone, 1350

Cupide hath so the thinges schape,

That thei ne mihte his hand ascape,

P. i. 325

That he his fyr on hem ne caste:

Wherof her herte he overcaste

To folwe thilke lore and suie

Which nevere man yit miht eschuie;
