And thus thei have her flyht begonne

Out of the prison faire and softe;

And whan thei weren bothe alofte, 1060

This Icharus began to monte,

And of the conseil non accompte

He sette, which his fader tawhte,

Til that the Sonne his wynges cawhte,

Wherof it malt, and fro the heihte

Withouten help of eny sleihte

He fell to his destruccion.
