He shewed him, ere they went to suppére, Forestës, parkës, full of wildë deer. There saw he hartës with their hornës high, The greatest that were ever seen with eye. He saw of them an hundred slain with hounds, And some with arrows bleed of bitter wounds. He saw, when voided 3328 were the wildë deer, These falconers upon a fair rivére, That with their hawkës have the heron slain. Then saw he knightës jousting in a plain. And after this he did him such pleasánce, That he him shew’d his lady on a dance, In which himselfë danced, as him thought. And when this master, that this magic wrought, Saw it was time, he clapp’d his handës two, And farewell, all the revel is y-go. 3329 And yet remov’d they never out of the house, While they saw all the sightës marvelloús; But in his study, where his bookës be, They sattë still, and no wight but they three.
