she was one of the damoysels of the lake that hyȝte Nyneue /(..)/ And euer she maade Merlyn good chere tyl she had lerned of hym al maner thynge that she desyred and he was assoted vpon her that he myghte not be from her / Soo on a tyme he told kynge Arthur that he sholde not dure longe but for al his craftes he shold be put in the erthe quyck

But he that was sowne in the stony grunde ys he, which heareth the worde of God, and anon with ioye receaveth itt, yet hath no rottes in himselfe, And therefore he dureth but a season(nb..).
