Of that this Prince of Tyr ansuerde,
He hadde a feloun bacheler,
Which was his prive consailer,
And Taliart be name he hihte:[1506]
The king a strong puison him dihte
Withinne a buiste and gold therto,[1507]
In alle haste and bad him go
Strawht unto Tyr, and for no cost
Ne spare he, til he hadde lost[1508] 510
The Prince which he wolde spille.
