What

Certes
the

WHan
the
Quene

vnderstode

she
had
gladly
auaunced

that
in

she
might
lifte

in

And
so
long
dured

ther
was

Than
the

Diomedes
seyng
this
that

was
so
angry

might
no

Than
wening

for

he
wente
vp

presented
him self
so
ferre

salued

welcom̄eth
him
with

he
smote

but
the
paillards
tyrants
as
wery

Recreaunt
fled
alle
trembling

were
sore
abasshid
whan
they
sawe
their

some
of

drewe
him
by

h●ring

assembled

the
tempest
of
the

cessed

and
the

casted
the

And
than
whan
they
were
disan●●ed
they
departed
with
their

out
fro

with
all

And
began
right
Ioyously
to

thanking
their

Iasen
that

grete
despyte

that
he
semed
better
a

THe

And
on

At

whiche
was
the

And

she
in
grete

variacions
for
to
knowe·
whether
she
wolde

Thus
in

And
at

alway

And
ymagyning

Howe
the

And
how
the
Quene

IN

saith

that
Argos

And

And
at

They

that

more

And
affermed
to
the

by
the●r
faith
that
this
monstre
without

was
more
to

and
feere
than
the

that

Certes
in

sayd
countre
tofore
that

Hercules
had
slayn
a

also
grete
as

as
hit
is
plainly
conteyned
in
t
history
of
hercules
WHan
the
king
Laomedon̄
had
herde
these
tydinges
reherced
/
he
was
all
abasshid
/
Thenne
he
made
one
of
his
knightes
to
take
an
hors
as
swift
as
the
wynde·
and
sente
him
to
thenedon̄
for
to

enquire
of

What
thing
hit
myght
be
that
the
peple
were
so
sore
aferd
of·
And
in
suche
wise
exploited
the
knight
that
he
cam
to
the
porte
of
thenadon
/
&
there
he
fonde
the
preu
Iason
&
hys
knightes
of

/
but
first
he
aspied
argos
that
ankred
his

right
nygh
to
thenedon̄·
&
wente
not
into
the
toun
for
asmoch
as
it
was
no

/
considering
that
they
were
nygh
the

of
Troye
whiche
was
so
grete
in
magnificence
that
ther
was
none
like
in
the
remenannt
of

worlde
/
he
enquired
first
of
the
habitan̄ts
and
dwellars
of
the
countree
yf
they
had
seen
ony
suche
monstre
on
the
see
.
Thenne
the
men
of
the
countre
ansuerde
to
the
knight
/
that
they
had
seen
no
suche
monstre
vpon
the
see
/
&
they
that
had
brought
suche
tydinges
to
Troye
were
gretly
abused
if
they
had
supposed
to
haue
seen
ony
monstre
/
&
that
ther
was
none
other
thing
but
a
shippe
of
Grece
saillyng
on
the
see
in
the
whiche
by
their
aduise
were
grete
nombre
of
knightes
of
Grece
Ryght
well
in
poynt
of
armes
and
suche
thinges
as
shold
be
nedefull
and
necessarie
for
them
to
entre
into
ba●aylle
Whan
the
knight
of
troye
had
vnderstande
al
that
said
is
he
descended
of
his
hors
and
wente
a
foote
vnto
the
knightes
of

To
whome
he
demanded
what
they
sought
&
had
to
doo
in
that
●oūtre
.
Than
Iason
answerd
to
the
knight·
that
grete
necessite
of
vytaille
for
to
trauerse
into
ferre
contrees
caused
them
for
to
take
their
porte
ther
and
none
other
thing
.
Incontinent
whan
the
knight
hadde
vnderstande
these
tidinges
he
retourned
and
toke
his
hors
and
rood
vnto
the
king
his
lord
.
and
recounted
to
him
alle
that
he
had
exployted

Than
the
king
Laomedon
thus
aduertised
of
the
descente
of
the

vnderstode
that
they
were
descended
for
to
vytaille

that
they
were

whiche
Hercules
had
sent
theder
for

wherfore
he
renuoyed
&
sent
again
the
knight
vnto
the
grekes

and
comnaunded
them
straytly
.
that
they
dispose
them
with

to

And
if
they
departed
not
sodainly

&
toke

he
shold
come
with
his

that
all

hit
in

but
to

also
that

after

the

made
them

Thenne

this
was
the
moste

After

And
aboute
the

fifty
men

Hit
is
not
to
be
vnremembrid
that
among
all
these
thinges
the
saide
king
Oethes
▪
had
a
doughter
by

This

&
becam
passing

a

.
the
doughter
was
named
Caliope
and
the

was
named

At
the
burthe
of

Abserthius
the

was
so

Phauoles
touchyng
the
fayte
of
the
conquest
of
the
golden
flyese
/
And
also
taught
her
many
enchantements·
&
with
this
she
gaf
to

a
Ryng

golde
wherin
was
a
stone
of
suche

And

passed
out
of

wherfore
Oetes

Caliopes
demened
meruayllous

And
there
I
wyl
reste
of
this
sorow

shal
recompte
what
was
the
ende
of
the
kyng
Appollo
¶
Howe
the
kyng
Appollo
arryued
at

Sta

And
how
he
departed
secretly
fro
the

Serath
and
arryued
at
the
yle
of
Colchos
&
of
his
deth
and
how
the
kyng
Serath
confessid
Appollo
to
be
a
god
WHan
the
kyng
Appollo
was
allone
on
the
see
as
sayd
is·
he
abandoned
him
vnto
the
fortune
of
the
wyndes
&
of
the
waters
confyeng
and
trusting
in
the
grace
of
the
goddes
.
And
his
fortune
was
suche
.
that
he
arryued
at
the
porte
of
Starille
a
cite
of
the
royaume
of
Pyre
And
there
fonde
that
the
kyng
Philitenus
laye

/
And
thenne
wente
to
him·
and
after
the
Reuerences
made
.
recounted
to
him
fro

the

all
that
was
befallen
to
him
&
his

/
how
that
they
had

how
he
had
made

king
And
how
he
was

thens

The
king
Philitenus
had
moche
meruaile
of
these
thinges
.
And
made
grete
chere
to
Appollo
after
his
power·

anon
after
he
deyde
&
after
him
succeded
in
his

a

that
he
had
whiche
was
named
Serath
/
Thenne
whan
Appollo
sawe
that
Serath
was
obeyed
king
of

/
he
cam
to
him
on
a
daye
to
take

but
Serath
wolde
not
that

/
And
required
him
Instantly
that
he
wolde

Appollo
excused
him
and
toke
leue

but
in
no

serath̄
wolde
accorde
therto
.
And
whan
Apoollo
sawe
this
&
felte
that
he
might
not
long
lyue
/
he
departed
thens
on
an
euen
so
secretly
that
no
man
knewe
til
on
the
morn
.
and
thenne
on
the
morn
they
knew
it
by
the
report
of
one
of
his

/
whiche
certefied
him
that
he
hadde

he
was
sore
trobled

for
he
louid
parfaitly
Appollo
/
And
forthwith
he
toke
his

to
bringe
him
agayn
/
he
rode
after
him
acompany●d
of
two
goode

of

/
but
he
coude
neuer
outake
him
til
that
he
was
come
into
the
yle
of
colchos
where
he
founde
him
passing
seek
and
labouring
in
the
extreme
draughtes
of

.
The
anoye
of
kyng
Serath
redoubled
whan
he
sawe
and
founde
Appollo
in
this
estate
and
wept
Thenne
the
king
Appollo
defended
him
that
he
sholde
go
no

of
Colchos
for
to
conquere

And
syn
recommanded
him

And
that
don
expired
his
lyf
.
for
whiche
deth
the
king
Serath
&
his
knightes
were
terribly
sory·
And
conclu●ed
that
they
wolde
bere
the
body
into

/
&
make
for

a

riche
sepulture
/
and
thenne
they
garnisshed
the

Alle

And

Wyth̄

how
he
had
required
to

and
howe
the

had
ansuerd
him
fiersly

But
whan
they
had
vnderstanden
all
this
/
they
concluded
among

that
they
wold
departe

After
this
don
they
went
and
toke
leue

thanked
him
of
the
grete
honour
that
hit
had
plesid
him
to

And
after

passid
this

with

for

This
notwithstandyng
whan
the

Iason
wente

And
how

And

Wherof
the

she
made
right
goode
chere
to
Iason

she
that
abandoned

And
so
it
is
to

And

whiche
were
all

For

The

Ias●n
gaf

Anone
as

With

sayyng
that

Thenne
Medea
made
him
sitte
vpon

for
to

.
and
syn
wente
and
fette

WHan
Iason
whiche
was
a
moche
vertuous
prince
had
vnderstonde
the
lady
and
knewe
her
grete
poute
/
he
began
to
remembre
of
the
innumerable
goode
dedes
that
she
had
don
for

tofore·
and
how
she
had
for
his

abandonned
her

And
in

sayd
that
his
plaisir
was
that
she
shulde
be
his
wyf
agayn
as
she
had
ben
tofore
/
Certes
Medea
incontinent
as
she
vnderstood
the
good
will
of
her
lord
/
she
was
more
Ioyous
in
her
corage
thenne
if
he
had
gyuen
to
her
the
beste
and
the
most
noble
royaume
of

And
thenne
she
sware
to
him
&
auowed
that
she
sholde
neuer
medle
more

ne
enchantements
ne
none
other

first
he
sholde
haue
the
cognoissaunce

knowlech
/
&
in
suche
wise
she
conduysed
her self
anenst
Iason
that
in
that

time
they
reconcilled
hem
self
to

.
And
on
the
morn
erly
Medea
abandonned
her
lytill
logge
/
And
wente
bothe
on
their
waye
.
And
so
ferre
erred
by
their
Iourneyes
that
they
cam
vnto
the
court
of
the
king
Eson
of
Myrmidone
that
was
newly
comen
in
his

.
Thenne
the
king
Eson
knowing
their
reconsiliacion
contented
him self
with
Iason
in
pardonyng
him
all
old
Rancour
and
maletalents

And
hit
was
not
long
after
that
the

Eson
resigned
in

of
Myrmidone·
for
the
grete
loue
that
