And thus thei drive forth the day,
Til time com that sche was hol;
And tho thei take her conseil hol,[1595]
To schape upon good ordinance
And make a worthi pourveance[1596] 1260
Ayein the day whan thei be veiled.
And thus, whan that thei be conseiled,
In blake clothes thei hem clothe,
This lady and the dowhter bothe,
And yolde hem to religion.
