AELLA.

Oh!  I die contente.—­ [dieth.

BIRTHA.

Oh! ys mie AElla dedde? 
O!  I will make hys grave mie vyrgyn spousal bedde. 1235
[Birtha feyncteth.

COERNYKE.

Whatt?  AElla deadde! & Birtha dyynge toe! 
Soe falles the fayrest flourettes of the playne. 
Who canne unplyte the wurchys heaven can doe,
Or who untweste the role of shappe yn twayne? 
AElla, thie rennome was thie onlie gayne; 1240
For yatte, thie pleasaunce, & thie joie was loste. 
Thie countrymen shall rere thee, on the playne,
A pyle of carnes, as anie grave can boaste;
Further, a just amede to thee to bee,
Inne heaven thou synge of Godde, on erthe we’lle synge of thee. 1245
