And lived long afterward;

And seththen was king the steward.

Harpours in Bretaine after than

Herd hou this mervaile bigan,

And made her of a lay of gode likeing,

And nempned[165] it after the king.

That lay Orfeo is y hote[166];

Gode is the lay, swete is the note.

Thus com sir Orfeo out of his care;

God graunt ous alle wele to fare! Amen.
