Of ladis many a lusti route,

With mochel worthi poeple also.

And why thei comen theder tho,

The cause stod in such a wise,—

For worschipe and for sacrifise

That thei to Venus wolden make,

As thei tofore hadde undertake, 7480

Some of good will, some of beheste,

For thanne was hire hihe feste

Withinne a temple which was there.
