When Pelleus his proses hade puplishit on highe,
And all soburly said with a sad wille,
Jason was Joly of his Juste wordes,
Þat in presens of the pepull þo profers were made,
And mony stythe of astate stonding aboute.
He hedit not the harme þat in his hert lurkyt,
Ne the ffalshed he faynit vnder faire wordes;
He drede no dissayet of his dere vncle,
But hooped full hertely it come of hegh loue.
Þen he trist hym full tyte in his tried strenght,
Thurghe hardynes of hond hopit to spede;
He put noght vnpossible pelleus wordes,
Ne the kynges couetous cast not before:
Þen he grauntis to go with a grete chere,
And all thies fferlyes to fraist he fursly awouet.
