Ulixes thanne upon this cas[123]

A thing of hih Prudence hath wroght:

For thilke aray, which he hath broght

To yive among the wommen there,

He let do fetten al the gere

Forth with a knihtes harneis eke,—

In al a contre forto seke[124]

Men scholden noght a fairer se,—

And every thing in his degre 3160

Endlong upon a bord he leide.
