ABSTRACT
They asken, whens the ship is come. Fro Tyre, anone answerde some.
And over this thei saiden more The cause why thei comen fore 1000 Was for to seche, and for to fynde Appollinus, which is of kynde Her liege lorde: and he appereth, And of the tale whiche he hereth He was right glad; for they hym tolde, That for vengeaunce, as god it wolde, Antiochus as men maie witte, With thonder and lightnyng is forsmitte. His doughter hath the same chance 1: So ben thei both in 0 balance. 1010
Forthy our liege lorde we seie, In name of all the londe, and preie, That lefte all other thynge to doone, It like you to come soone, And see your owne liege men, With other that ben of your ken, That live in longynge and desyre, Till ye be come ageyne to Tyre.2
