Amonges hem was no refus:
The flour of al the toun was there
And of the court also ther were;
And that was in a large place
Riht evene afore the kinges face;  690
Which Artestrathes thanne hihte。
The pley was pleid riht in his sihte;
And who most worthi was of dede
Receive he scholde a certein mede
And in the cite bere a pris。
Appolinus; which war and wys
Of every game couthe an ende;
He thoghte assaie; hou so it wende;
And fell among hem into game:
And there he wan him such a name;  700
So as the king himself acompteth
That he alle othre men surmonteth;
And bar the pris above hem alle。
The king bad that into his halle
At Souper time he schal be broght;
And he cam thanne and lefte it noght;
Withoute compaignie al one:
Was non so semlich of persone;
Of visage and of limes bothe;
If that he hadde what to clothe。   710
At Soupertime natheles
The king amiddes al the pres
Let clepe him up among hem alle;
And bad his Mareschall of halle
To setten him in such degre
That he upon him myhte se。
The king was sone set and served;
And he; which hath his pris deserved
After the kinges oghne word;
Was mad beginne a Middel bord;  720
That bothe king and queene him sihe。
He sat and caste aboute his yhe
And sih the lordes in astat;
And with himself wax in debat
Thenkende what he hadde lore;
And such a sorwe he tok therfore;
That he sat evere stille and thoghte;
As he which of no mete roghte。
The king behield his hevynesse;
And of his grete gentillesse    730
His doghter; which was fair and good
And ate bord before him stod;
As it was thilke time usage;
He bad to gon on his message
And fonde forto make him glad。
And sche dede as hire fader bad;
And goth to him the softe pas
And axeth whenne and what he was;
And preith he scholde his thoghtes leve。
He seith; 〃Ma Dame; be your leve   740
Mi name is hote Appolinus;
And of mi richesse it is thus;
Upon the See I have it lore。
The contre wher as I was bore;
Wher that my lond is and mi rente;
I lefte at Tyr; whan that I wente:
The worschipe of this worldes aghte;
Unto the god ther I betaghte。〃
And thus togedre as thei tuo speeke;
The teres runne be his cheeke。  750
The king; which therof tok good kepe;
Hath gret Pite to sen him wepe;
And for his doghter sende ayein;
And preide hir faire and gan to sein
That sche no lengere wolde drecche;
Bot that sche wolde anon forth fecche
Hire harpe and don al that sche can
To glade with that sory man。
And sche to don hir fader heste
Hir harpe fette; and in the feste  760
Upon a Chaier which thei fette
Hirself next to this man sche sette:
With harpe bothe and ek with mouthe
To him sche dede al that sche couthe
To make him chiere; and evere he siketh;
And sche him axeth hou him liketh。
〃Ma dame; certes wel;〃 he seide;
〃Bot if ye the mesure pleide
Which; if you list; I schal you liere;
It were a glad thing forto hiere。〃    770
〃Ha; lieve sire;〃 tho quod sche;
〃Now tak the harpe and let me se
Of what mesure that ye mene。〃
Tho preith the king; tho preith the queene;
Forth with the lordes alle arewe;
That he som merthe wolde schewe;
He takth the Harpe and in his wise
He tempreth; and of such assise
Singende he harpeth forth withal;
That as a vois celestial  780
Hem thoghte it souneth in here Ere;
As thogh that he an Angel were。
Thei gladen of his melodie;
Bot most of alle the compainie
The kinges doghter; which it herde;
And thoghte ek hou that he ansuerde;
Whan that he was of hire opposed;
Withinne hir herte hath wel supposed
That he is of gret gentilesse。
Hise dedes ben therof witnesse  790
Forth with the wisdom of his lore;
It nedeth noght to seche more;
He myhte noght have such manere;
Of gentil blod bot if he were。
Whanne he hath harped al his fille;
The kinges heste to fulfille;
Awey goth dissh; awey goth cuppe;
Doun goth the bord; the cloth was uppe;
Thei risen and gon out of halle。
The king his chamberlein let calle;   800
And bad that he be alle weie
A chambre for this man pourveie;
Which nyh his oghne chambre be。
〃It schal be do; mi lord;〃 quod he。
Appolinus of whom I mene
Tho tok his leve of king and queene
And of the worthi Maide also;
Which preide unto hir fader tho;
That sche myhte of that yonge man
Of tho sciences whiche he can   810
His lore have; and in this wise
The king hir granteth his aprise;
So that himself therto assente。
Thus was acorded er thei wente;
That he with al that evere he may
This yonge faire freisshe May
Of that he couthe scholde enforme;
And full assented in this forme
Thei token leve as for that nyht。
And whanne it was amorwe lyht;  820
Unto this yonge man of Tyr
Of clothes and of good atir
With gold and Selver to despende
This worthi yonge lady sende:
And thus sche made him wel at ese;
And he with al that he can plese
Hire serveth wel and faire ayein。
He tawhte hir til sche was certein
Of Harpe; of Citole and of Rote;
With many a tun and many a note    830
Upon Musique; upon mesure;
And of hire Harpe the temprure
He tawhte hire ek; as he wel couthe。
Bot as men sein that frele is youthe;
With leisir and continuance
This Mayde fell upon a chance;
That love hath mad him a querele
Ayein hire youthe freissh and frele;
That malgre wher sche wole or noght;
Sche mot with al hire hertes thoght   840
To love and to his lawe obeie;
And that sche schal ful sore abeie。
For sche wot nevere what it is;
Bot evere among sche fieleth this:
Thenkende upon this man of Tyr;
Hire herte is hot as eny fyr;
And otherwhile it is acale;
Now is sche red; nou is sche pale
Riht after the condicion
Of hire ymaginacion;   850
Bot evere among hire thoghtes alle;
Sche thoghte; what so mai befalle;
Or that sche lawhe; or that sche wepe;
Sche wolde hire goode name kepe
For feere of wommanysshe schame。
Bot what in ernest and in game;
Sche stant for love in such a plit;
That sche hath lost al appetit
Of mete; of drinke; of nyhtes reste;
As sche that not what is the beste;   860
Bot forto thenken al hir fille
Sche hield hire ofte times stille
Withinne hir chambre; and goth noght oute:
The king was of hire lif in doute;
Which wiste nothing what it mente。
Bot fell a time; as he out wente
To walke; of Princes Sones thre
Ther come and felle to his kne;
And ech of hem in sondri wise
Besoghte and profreth his servise;    870
So that he myhte his doghter have。
The king; which wolde his honour save;
Seith sche is siek; and of that speche
Tho was no time to beseche;
Bot ech of hem do make a bille
He bad; and wryte his oghne wille;
His name; his fader and his good;
And whan sche wiste hou that it stod;
And hadde here billes oversein;
Thei scholden have ansuere ayein。  880
Of this conseil thei weren glad;
And writen as the king hem bad;
And every man his oghne bok
Into the kinges hond betok;
And he it to his dowhter sende;
And preide hir forto make an ende
And wryte ayein hire oghne hond;
Riht as sche in hire herte fond。
The billes weren wel received;
Bot sche hath alle here loves weyved;    890
And thoghte tho was time and space
To put hire in hir fader grace;
And wrot ayein and thus sche saide:
〃The schame which is in a Maide
With speche dar noght ben unloke;
Bot in writinge it
