Whan such a gret unkindenesse

P. iii. 156

Is founde in such a lord as thou?’

This Julius knew wel ynou 2100

That al was soth which he him tolde;

And for he wolde noght ben holde

Unkinde, he tok his cause on honde,

And as it were of goddes sonde,

He yaf him good ynouh to spende

For evere into his lives ende.[1106]
