Of gentilesse, of freedom, of beautee; 1010 That wel was him that mighte her ones see; Of kinges and of lordes so desyred, That al the world her beaute hadde y-fyred; (90) She stood so wel in every wightes grace. Whan Eneas was come un-to that place, 1015 Unto the maister-temple of al the toun Ther Dido was in her devocioun, Ful prively his wey than hath he nome. Whan he was in the large temple come, I can nat seyn if that hit be possible, 1020 But Venus hadde him maked invisible-- Thus seith the book, with-outen any lees. And whan this Eneas and Achates (100) Hadden in this temple been over-al, Than founde they, depeynted on a wal, 1025 How Troye and al the lond destroyed was.
