Love arted me to do myn observaunce

To his astate, and doon him obeysaunce,

Commaunding me the Court of Love to see,

A lite beside the mount of Citharee,

50

There Citherea goddesse was and quene

Honoured highly for her majestee;

And eke her sone, the mighty god, I wene,

Cupid the blind, that for his dignitee

A thousand lovers worship on their knee;
