And gently laid him on the bridal bed,
With pleasing sweets his fainting sense renews,
And all the dome perfumes with
heavenly
dews.

Hir fredom fond Arcite in swich manere,
That al was his that she hath, moche or lyte,
Ne to no creature made she chere
Ferther than that hit lyked to Arcite;

She was so
ferforth
yeven him to plese,
That al that lyked him, hit did hir ese.
