Third Boke: how Medea enformed Iason to get the Iason of Golde.
Here tellus þe tale, woso tentis after,
How the wethir was wonen, & away borne
The grete goldyn flese with a greke noble,
Thurghe wyles of [a] woman, þat þe wegh louet.
Line 668
Whan Medea the maidon, þat I mynt have,
Was chosyn into chamber, & on hir charge thoght,
Of hir Janglyng with Jason & hir iuste wordys,
Hit neght to þe night & the none past:
Line 672
Sone the day ouerdroghe & the derke entrid,
And all buernes vnto bed as hom best liked.
Medea full myldly movede aboute, [folio 13a]
Waynet up a window, the welkyn beheld,
Line 676
Persauyt pertly, with hir pure artis,
When the dregh was don of þe derke night,
Þat all sad were on slepe, seruond & other.
ffayn was þat fre and forþer ho went,
Line 680
Waknet vp a wydow, þat hir with dwellit,
And sent to þat semly, as ho said first.
He busket from his bede & þe burde folowid,
Till he come thurghe a cloyster to a clene halle,
Line 684
Þere Medea the mylde met hym hir one,
And with myrthe at þere metyng mowthet to gethir;
Þen suet þai with solas into a sure chamber.
