Of cours of planetes and of the sky,
Ne couthe so many enchauntement
As coude Medee, that may gent.

¶ Sche coude with coniurisouns,
With here scleyghte & oresouns,
The day that was most fair & lyght

Make the wynde bothe blowe & ryse
And make him so lowde blowe
As it scholde houses ouerthrowe;

And here liked make it reyne
And if here liked make it schyne.

Make hem florische aȝeyn & bere,
That wynter hem myȝt not dere.

By-twene her lord and Iason to ete,
Sche cast here eye wel offte vnfold
That Ioyful knyȝt to be-hold;
