It oghte forto be withdrawe;

For every man it scholde drede,

And nameliche in his Sibrede,

Which torneth ofte to vengance:

Wherof a tale in remembrance,

Which is a long process to hiere,

I thenke forto tellen hiere. 270

[Apollonius of Tyre.]

ii. Omnibus est communis amor, set et immoderatos

Qui facit excessus, non reputatur amans.
