For he therof was sore agrise.

To Daniel his drem he tolde,

And preide him faire that he wolde 600

Arede what it tokne may;

And seide: ‘Abedde wher I lay,

Me thoghte I syh upon a Stage

Wher stod a wonder strange ymage.

His hed with al the necke also

Thei were of fin gold bothe tuo;

His brest, his schuldres and his armes
