Which stod most hihe in his degre[1547]

Among the goddes, thou miht knowe,

These othre, that ben more lowe,

Ben litel worth, as it is founde.

Iupiter deus deliciarum.

For Jupiter was the secounde, 870

Which Juno hadde unto his wif;

And yit a lechour al his lif

He was, and in avouterie

He wroghte many a tricherie;
