 And haddest golde ynough and Emelye  
 No man mighte glade Theseus  
 Sauynge his olde fader Egeus  
That knew this worldis transmutacion  
 As he hadde seen it chaunge vp and doun  
 Ioye aftir woo and wo aftir gladnesse  
 And shewde hym ensaumple and liknesse  
 Right as ther deyde neuer man quod he  
That he ne loued in erthe in som degre  
 Right so ther lyued neuer man he seyde  
 In al this worlde that som tyme he deyde  
 This worlde is but a thorow fare ful of wo  
 And we be pylgryms passinge to and fro  
Deth is an ende of euery worldis sore  
 And ouer al this yet sayde he mykyl more  
 To this effect ful wisely to enhorte  
 The pepyl that they sholde hem recomforte  
 Duke Theseus with al his besy cure  
Caste now where the sepulture  
 Of good arcite may best y makyd be  
 And eke most honourably in his degre  
 And at the laste he took conclusion  
 That there as first arcite and Palamon  
Hadde for loue bataylle hem between  
 That in that selue groue swete and green  
 There as he hadde his amerous desirys  
 His complaynt and for loue his hote firys  
 He wolde make a fire in the whiche the office  
Funeral he mighte fully accomplice
