Of other helpe wot sche non,

Bot goth unto hire cofre anon;

With wepende yhe and woful herte

Sche tok out thilke unhappi scherte, 2280

As sche that wende wel to do,

And broghte hire werk aboute so

That Hercules this scherte on dede,

To such entente as she was bede

Of Nessus, so as I seide er.

Bot therof was sche noght the ner,
