A. CEIX AND ALCEONE. From Bk. iv, ll. 2927 ff.

This finde I write in Poesie:

Ceïx the king of Trocinie

Hadde Alceone to his wif,

Which as hire oghne hertes lif

Him loveth; and he hadde also 5

A brother, which was cleped tho

Dedalion, and he per cas

Fro kinde of man forschape was

Into a goshauk of liknesse;
