ed!' and her heer to-rente,
 And to the stronde bar-fot faste she wente,
 And cryed, 'Theseus! myn herte swete! 2190
 Wher be ye, that I may nat with yow mete,
 And mighte thus with bestes been y-slain?'
 The holwe rokkes answerde her again;
 No man she saw, and yit shyned the mone,
 And hye upon a rokke she wente sone, 2195
 And saw his barge sailing in the see. (311)
 Cold wex her herte, and right thus seide she.
 'Meker than ye finde I the bestes wilde!'
 Hadde he nat sinne, that her thus begylde?
 She cryed, 'O turne again, for routhe and sinne! 2200
 Thy barge hath nat al his meiny inne!'
 Her kerchef on a pole up stikked she,
 Ascaunce that he sholde hit wel y-see,
 And him remembre that she was behinde,
 And turne again, and on the stronde her finde; 2205
 But al for noght; his wey he is y-goon. (321)
 And doun she fil a-swown upon a stoon;
 And up she rist, and kiste, in al her care,
 The steppes of his feet, ther he hath fare,
 And to her bedde right thus she speketh tho:-- 2210
 'Thou bed,' quod she, 'that hast receyved two,
 Thou shalt answere of two, and nat of oon!
 Wher is thy gretter part away y-goon?
 Allas! wher shal I, wrecched wight, become!
 For, thogh so be that ship or boot heer come, 2215
 Hoom to my contree dar I nat for drede; (331)
 I can my-selven in this cas nat rede!'
 What shal I telle more her compleining?
 Hit is so long, hit were an hevy thing.
 In her epistle Naso telleth al; 2220
 But shortly to the ende I telle shal.
 The goddes have her holpen, for pitee;
 And, in the signe of Taurus, men may see
 The stones of her coroun shyne clere.--
 I wol no more speke of this matere; 2225
 But thus this false lover can begyle (341)
 His trewe love. The devil quyte him his whyle!
