And wrot ayein and thus sche saide:
〃The schame which is in a Maide
With speche dar noght ben unloke;
Bot in writinge it mai be spoke;
So wryte I to you; fader; thus:
Bot if I have Appolinus;
Of al this world; what so betyde;
I wol non other man abide。   900
And certes if I of him faile;
I wot riht wel withoute faile
Ye schull for me be dowhterles。〃
This lettre cam; and ther was press
Tofore the king; ther as he stod;
And whan that he it understod;
He yaf hem ansuer by and by;
Bot that was do so prively;
That non of othres conseil wiste。
Thei toke her leve; and wher hem liste   910
Thei wente forth upon here weie。
The king ne wolde noght bewreie
The conseil for no maner hihe;
Bot soffreth til he time sihe:
And whan that he to chambre is come;
He hath unto his conseil nome
This man of Tyr; and let him se
The lettre and al the privete;
The which his dowhter to him sente:
And he his kne to grounde bente    920
And thonketh him and hire also;
And er thei wenten thanne atuo;
With good herte and with good corage
Of full Love and full mariage
The king and he ben hol acorded。
And after; whanne it was recorded
Unto the dowhter hou it stod;
The yifte of al this worldes good
Ne scholde have mad hir half so blythe:
And forth withal the king als swithe;    930

For he wol have hire good assent;
Hath for the queene hir moder sent。
The queene is come; and whan sche herde
Of this matiere hou that it ferde;
Sche syh debat; sche syh desese;
Bot if sche wolde hir dowhter plese;
And is therto assented full。
Which is a dede wonderfull;
For noman knew the sothe cas
Bot he himself; what man he was;   940
And natheles; so as hem thoghte;
Hise dedes to the sothe wroghte
That he was come of gentil blod:
Him lacketh noght bot worldes good;
And as therof is no despeir;
For sche schal ben hire fader heir;
And he was able to governe。
Thus wol thei noght the love werne
Of him and hire in none wise;
Bot ther acorded thei divise    950
The day and time of Mariage。
Wher love is lord of the corage;
Him thenketh longe er that he spede;
Bot ate laste unto the dede
The time is come; and in her wise
With gret offrende and sacrifise
Thei wedde and make a riche feste;
And every thing which was honeste
Withinnen house and ek withoute
It was so don; that al aboute   960
Of gret worschipe; of gret noblesse
Ther cride many a man largesse
Unto the lordes hihe and loude;
The knyhtes that ben yonge and proude;
Thei jouste ferst and after daunce。
The day is go; the nyhtes chaunce
Hath derked al the bryhte Sonne;
This lord; which hath his love wonne;
Is go to bedde with his wif;
Wher as thei ladde a lusti lif;    970
And that was after somdel sene;
For as thei pleiden hem betwene;
Thei gete a child betwen hem tuo;
To whom fell after mochel wo。
Now have I told of the spousailes。
Bot forto speke of the mervailes
Whiche afterward to hem befelle;
It is a wonder forto telle。
It fell adai thei riden oute;
The king and queene and al the route;    980
To pleien hem upon the stronde;
Wher as thei sen toward the londe
A Schip sailende of gret array。
To knowe what it mene may;
Til it be come thei abide;
Than sen thei stonde on every side;
Endlong the schipes bord to schewe;
Of Penonceals a riche rewe。
Thei axen when the ship is come:
Fro Tyr; anon ansuerde some;    990
And over this thei seiden more
The cause why thei comen fore
Was forto seche and forto finde
Appolinus; which was of kinde
Her liege lord: and he appiereth;
And of the tale which he hiereth
He was riht glad; for thei him tolde;
That for vengance; as god it wolde;
Antiochus; as men mai wite;
With thondre and lyhthnynge is forsmite;    1000
His doghter hath the same chaunce;
So be thei bothe in o balance。
〃Forthi; oure liege lord; we seie
In name of al the lond; and preie;
That left al other thing to done;
It like you to come sone
And se youre oghne liege men
With othre that ben of youre ken;
That live in longinge and desir
Til ye be come ayein to Tyr。〃   1010
This tale after the king it hadde
Pentapolim al overspradde;
Ther was no joie forto seche;
For every man it hadde in speche
And seiden alle of on acord;
〃A worthi king schal ben oure lord:
That thoghte ous ferst an hevinesse
Is schape ous now to gret gladnesse。〃
Thus goth the tidinge overal。
Bot nede he mot; that nede schal:  1020
Appolinus his leve tok;
To god and al the lond betok
With al the poeple long and brod;
That he no lenger there abod。
The king and queene sorwe made;
Bot yit somdiel thei weren glade
Of such thing as thei herden tho:
And thus betwen the wel and wo
To schip he goth; his wif with childe;
The which was evere meke and mylde    1030
And wolde noght departe him fro;
Such love was betwen hem tuo。
Lichorida for hire office
Was take; which was a Norrice;
To wende with this yonge wif;
To whom was schape a woful lif。
Withinne a time; as it betidde;
Whan thei were in the See amidde;
Out of the North they sihe a cloude;
The storm aros; the wyndes loude   1040
Thei blewen many a dredful blast;
The welkne was al overcast;
The derke nyht the Sonne hath under;
Ther was a gret tempeste of thunder:
The Mone and ek the Sterres bothe
In blake cloudes thei hem clothe;
Wherof here brihte lok thei hyde。
This yonge ladi wepte and cride;
To whom no confort myhte availe;
Of childe sche began travaile;  1050
Wher sche lay in a Caban clos:
Hire woful lord fro hire aros;
And that was longe er eny morwe;
So that in anguisse and in sorwe
Sche was delivered al be nyhte
And ded in every mannes syhte;
Bot natheles for al this wo
A maide child was bore tho。
Appolinus whan he this knew;
For sorwe a swoune he overthrew;  1060
That noman wiste in him no lif。
And whanne he wok; he seide; 〃Ha; wif;
Mi lust; mi joie; my desir;
Mi welthe and my recoverir;
Why schal I live; and thou schalt dye?
Ha; thou fortune; I thee deffie;
Nou hast thou do to me thi werste。
Ha; herte; why ne wolt thou berste;
That forth with hire I myhte passe?
Mi peines weren wel the lasse。〃    1070
In such wepinge and in such cry
His dede wif; which lay him by;
A thousend sithes he hire kiste;
Was nevere man that sih ne wiste
A sorwe unto his sorwe lich;
For evere among upon the lich
He fell swounende; as he that soghte
His oghne deth; which he besoghte
Unto the goddes alle above
With many a pitous word of love;   1080
Bot suche wordes as tho were
Yit herde nevere mannes Ere;
Bot only thilke whiche he seide。
The Maister Schipman cam and preide
With othre suche as be therinne;
And sein that he mai nothing winne
Ayein the deth; bot thei him rede;
He be wel war and tak hiede;
The See be weie of his nature
Receive mai no creature   1090
Withinne himself as forto holde;
The which is ded: forthi thei wolde;
As thei conseilen al aboute;
The dede body casten oute。
For betre it is; thei seiden alle;
That it of hire so befalle;
Than if thei scholden alle spille。
The king; which understod here wille
And knew here conseil that was trewe;
Began ayein his sorwe newe   1100
With pitous herte; and thus to seie:
〃It is al reson that ye preie。
I am;〃 quod he; 〃bot on al one;
So wolde I noght for mi persone
Ther felle such adv
