“ That was of love as fals as ever him liste, (10)
And many a doghter gat he in his lyve;
Of which he gat upon his righte wyve
A doghter dere, and dide her for to calle
Ypermistra, yongest of hem alle; 2575
The whiche child, of her nativitee,
To alle gode thewes born was she,
As lyked to the goddes, or she was born,
That of the shefe she sholde be the corn;
The Wirdes, that we clepen Destinee, 2580
Hath shapen her that she mot nedes be (20)
Pitouse, sadde, wyse, and trewe as steel ”
