And seide, ‘O myghti god of reste,

Thou do vengance of this debat.

Mi Soster and al hire astat

Thou wost, and hou sche hath forlore

Hir maidenhod, and I therfore 5850

In al the world schal bere a blame

Of that mi Soster hath a schame,

That Tereüs to hire I sente:

And wel thou wost that myn entente

Was al for worschipe and for goode.
