Tho was ther sorwe ynowh begonne. 2050

Horestes dede his moder calle

Anon tofore the lordes alle

And ek tofor the poeple also,

To hire and tolde his tale tho,

And seide, ‘O cruel beste unkinde,

How mihtest thou thin herte finde,[1029]

For eny lust of loves drawhte,

That thou acordest to the slawhte

Of him which was thin oghne lord?
