Tho al tho that ther in sete,
That it was king Orfeo under gete,[161]
And the steward him wele knewe,
Over and over the bord[162] he threwe,
And fel adoun to his fet;
So dede everich lord that ther sete,
And al thai sayd at o criing,
Ye beth our lord, sir, and our king.
Glad thai were of his live,
To chaumber thai ladde him als bilive,[163]
