Bot none amendes hadde he,

Bot was rebuked hiere and there

Of hem that loves frendes were; 690

And seiden that he was to blame,[1527]

For if ther fell him eny schame,

It was thurgh his misgovernance:

And thus he loste contienance,

This god, and let his cause falle;

And thei to skorne him lowhen alle,

And losen Mars out of hise bondes.
