And Hercules thanne hath assaied

To clothen him in hire array:

And thus thei jape forth the dai, 6870

Til that her Souper redy were.

And whan thei hadden souped there,

And as it thoghte hem for the beste,

Thei bede, as for that ilke nyht,

Tuo sondri beddes to be dyht,

For thei togedre ligge nolde,
