And hath his folk so wel affaited,

That howso that it be awaited,

Ther mai noman the pourpos lette:

And thus betwen hem tuo thei sette 1370

An hole upon a wall to make,

Thurgh which thei have her conseil take

At alle times, whan thei myhte.

This faire Maiden Tisbee hihte,

And he whom that sche loveth hote

Was Piramus be name hote.
