Caxton 1, folio39r image
Been on the sunday to the cyte com  
 Aboute prime & in the town a light  
 This Theseus this duke this worthy knyght  
 When he hadde brought hem in to the cyte  
 And ynned hem euerich at his degre  
He festith hem and doth hem gret labour  
 To ese hem and to do hem al honour  
 That man ne woman ne no maner wight  
 Of none astat so coude amende it  
 The mynstralcye the seruise at the feste  
The grete giftis to the most and lest  
 The riche aray of Theseus Paleys  
 Ne who fat first ne last vp on the deys  
 Or what feirest or best daunsynge  
 Or whiche of theym can best daunce or synge  
Ne who most felingly speketh of loue  
 What hawkys sitte on the perchis aboue  
 What houndis lyen in the slour a doun  
 Of all this make I no mencion  
 But of the effect that thynketh me best  
Now comyth to the poynt herken yf ye list  
 THe sonday at night or day began to springe  
 Whan Palamon herde the larke synge  
 Al that it were not day be houris two  
 Vnto the temple purposeth he to go  
With hool herte and with an high corage  
 Is risen to wende on his pilgremage  
 To the blisful Sithea benigne  
 I mene venus honourable and digne
