With whom the goddes ben so wrothe,

That whil tho children ben therinne,

Such tilthe schal noman beginne,

Wherof to gete him eny corn.

Thus was it seid, thus was it sworn

Of all the Prestes that ther are;[234]

And sche which causeth al this fare

Seid ek therto what that sche wolde,[235]

And every man thanne after tolde 4310

So as the queene hem hadde preid.[236]
