And right anon such strife there is begun For thilkë granting, 701 in the heav’n above, Betwixtë Venus the goddéss of love, And Mars the sternë god armipotent, That Jupiter was busy it to stent: 702 Till that the palë Saturnus the cold, 703 That knew so many of adventures old, Found in his old experience such an art, That he full soon hath pleased every part. As sooth is said, eld 704 hath great advantage, In eld is bothë wisdom and uságe: 705 Men may the old out-run, but not out-rede. 706 Saturn anon, to stint the strife and drede, Albeit that it is against his kind, Of all this strife gan a remédy find.
