Prologus
To
reyse
a
toure
so
high
so
large
and

For

touchynge
the
great
might
Of
this
toure
which
babell
men
yit
call
Men
fro

haue
therof
a

It
surmountith
other
tours
all
Of
which
werke
thus
it
is
bifall
Of
serpentes
and
many
a
great
dragon
It
is
no
we
callyd
cheef
habitacion
That
noman
dare
as
they
it
se
For
wickyd
eyre
and
for
corruption
By
a
great
space
and
in
a
grete
cuntre
Aproche
nor
nere
that
merueylous
dungeon
So
venemous
was
that
mansion
And
so
orrible
that
noman
dare
approche
Lyke
to
a
mountayn
byldyd
on
a
roche
And
as
men
say
that
hadde
therto
repeyre
This
toure
atteynith
vnto
the
sterres
clere
And
transendeth
the
region
of
the
eyre
The
stones
and
the
syment
were
made
of
such
mater
And
the
ioynynge
so
stedfaste
and
entier
Though
fyre
and
water
both
dyd
it
asseyle
But
lytyll
or
nought
their
power
shulde
avayle
It
was
made
so
mighty
to
endure
So
well
assuryd
by
disposicion
That
in
this
worlde
no
lyuynge
creature
Sawe
neuer
none
lyke
in
comparison
Whoos
rerynge
vp
was
cheif
occasion
And
the
riches
of
the
masonrie
Were
thrugh
Nembrothe
of
pryde
and
surquedie
Demyd
proudly
as
in
his
auice
He
transcendyd
all
other
in
noblesse
Thought
himself
moste
mighty
and
wy●e
Felowe
to
god
as
by
lyknesse
But
god
that
can
all
worldely
pride
oppresse
And
make
princes
eclypsen
in
their
glorie
Suche
as
trust
in
thynges
transitorie
The
same
lorde
of
his
eternall
might
This
toure
which
Nembroth
lyste
to
edifye
He
made
with
thondre
and
levyn
light
Therof
to
fall
a
full
great
partye
The
boistous
wyndes
and
the
rage
skye
And
goddes
power
on
that
other
syde
Bygan
thus
abate
a
perrell
of
his
pryde
And
in
discente
and
fallynge
of
the
stonys
Of
the
werkmen
full
many
a
man
was
dede
And
oppressyd
their
backe
broken
and
bones
The
masonrye
with
their
blode
was
rede
Yit
proud
Nembrothe
that
of
this
werke
was
hede
With
all
thies
sygnes
his
lorde
he
lyst
nat
knowe
For
which
his
pompe
was
after
brought
ful
lowe
But
in
his
errour
procedith
furth
of
newe
Thought
he
wolde
gete
him self
aname
Of
melancoly
can
chaunge
loke
and
hewe
And
beganne
also
to
tempte
and
atame
For
to
encreas
and
magnify
his
fame
A
newe
toure
to
edifye
ayen
Lyke
as
god
had
ben
blynde
and
nothynge
seen
He
wolde
haue
raught
vp
to
the
sterrys
seuyn
By
th
assent
of
them
that
can
him
first
counseyle
Robbyd
god
and
from
him
raught
the
he●yn
But
who
presumith
the
lorde
aboue
t
assayle
It
were
no
reason
that
he
shulde
auayle
Prynces
may
well
ayenst
him
cry
loude
But
his
powere
may
elipse
with
no
cloude
For
in
the
myddes
of
his
grete
emprises
This
proude
Nembroth
makynge
his
masons
For
to
cumpas
and
cast
their
deuises
Geometries
in
their
diuisions
But
god
that
hath
his
aspeccious
Seynge
thententis
of
euery
erthly
man
As
he
that
is
moste
mighty
and
best
can
Ayenst
their
malice
make
resistence
Their
worldly
power
their
dominacion
Of
his
vengeable
and
moste
magnificence
He
can
chastyce
and
ouir
whelme
downe
The
pryde
of
princes
in
euery
region
By
ensaumple
of
Nembrothe
as
ye
shal
here
Whose
pompe
raught
aboue
the
sterres
clere
For
whanne
his
werkmen
stode
at
a
avantage
And
moost
were
besy
to
his
intencion
And
byfore
that
tyme
spake
all
one
langage
All
sodenly
by
transmutacion
There
was
of
tonges
made
a
diuision
That
in
their
wyrkynge
as
they
can
obreyde
No
man
wist
what
that
other
saide
And
it
is
lykly
accordynge
with
reason
So
as
chaunge
was
made
of
their
langages
So
of
their
hertys
was
made
diuision
Bothe
of
their
wyll
and
of
their

And
in
ascendynge
of
their

stages
There
was

The

For

For

Eche

This

In

But
with
my
penne
in

procede
Here
to
discryue
howe
it
fyll
in
dede
Artaxerses
amonge
his
concubynes
It
is
remembred
howe
that
he
had
one
Which
for
to
rekne
wyues
and
virgynes
Was
fairest
holde
of
theym
euerychon
Called
artasia
of
full
yore
agone
And
was
that
tyme
hir
bewtye
to
descryue
Amonge
perciens
the
fairest
holde
alyue
And
though
she
were
Ironne
ferre
in
age
Lyke
as
bokys
lyst
of
hir
expresse
Both
of
coloure
and
also
of
visage
She
kept
hir
bewtye
and
hir
natif
fresshnesse
Which
was
afore
for
hir
semelynesse
To
seyde
Cyrus
breuely
to
termyne
Chose
longe
aforne
to
be
his
concubyne
But
whan
this
Cirus
was
passyd
into
fate
Which
for
his
brother
might
nat
lyue
in
pees
Anone
vpon
withoute
lenger
date
She
was
take
vp
for
kinge
artaxerses
Bycause
she
was
of
beutye
peerles
After
longe
tyme
whan
he
fyll
in
age
She
cleymed
was
by
tytle
of
heritage
Of
kinge
dary
by
his
faders
lyue
Feynynge
his
cleyme
by
succession
And
though
his
fader
ageyne
it
dyd
stryue
And
thus
began
as
made
is
mencion
Of
their
debate
the
first
occasion
For
darye
cast
albe
he
bare
it
styll
Hir
to
reioyse
ageyne
his
faders
wyll
And
to
accomplyssh
falsly
his
entent
Of
hir
to
haue
full
possession
Tafforce
his
partye
he
made
this
argument
Cirus
quod
he
as
made
is
mencion
Regnynge
in
ꝑce
the
mighty
region
And
this
story
doth
pleynly
determyne
For
hir
beutye
made
hir
his
concubyne
And
after
tyme
whan
cirus
was
dede
Artaxerses
his
fader
ye
may
se
Next
him
succedinge
in
ꝑce
it
is
no
drede
List
hir
to
cleyme
eke
for
hir
greate
beutye
And
so
quod
da●ye
she
longeth
nowe
to

B●cause
she
is
so
plesaunt
to
my
sight
By

I
wyll
hir
cleyme
of

Thus
kinge
darye
to
his
fader
s●yde
He
wolde
haue
arthasia
the
faire
And
therwithal
artaxerses
gan
abraide
And
answeryd
with

debonaire
My

quod
he
I
wyll
nat
be
contraire
To
thy
desire
but
of
affeccion
Delyuer
hir
to
thy
possession
Of
his
promys
he
after
gan
repent
Cast
him
to
make
another
cheuisaunce
And
secretly
his
concubyne
he
sent
Callyd
arthasia
as
made
is

And
through
his
sleyghty
vncouth
purueaunce
Vnto
the
temple
such

he
hath
sought
Of
greate
Appollo
that
she
in

was
brought
Where
she
was
veyled
and
made

After

Of

Duringe
hir

She

This

Frendly
to

If

This

In

This

Whilom

Bycause

Both

This
was

That
