And ech on other gan to calle,
And went hem out upon the stronde[672]
And tok a pourpos ther alonde
Of what thing that thei wolden do,[673]
Toward the temple and forth thei go.
So fell it, of devocion

With many an other worthi wiht
Was in the temple and wok al nyht, 7540
To bidde and preie unto thymage[674]
