Mercurie, which was al affiled

This Cow to stele, he cam desguised,

And hadde a Pipe wel devised

Upon the notes of Musiqe,

Wherof he mihte hise Eres like.

And over that he hadde affaited[1408]

Hise lusti tales, and awaited

His time; and thus into the field

He cam, where Argus he behield 3340

With Yo, which beside him wente.[1409]
