Tithonis met at break of day

Poem (Canso): 

Tithonis met at break of day
With his Aurora fair to play
at games of love and eke of bliss.
But came he slow, and Dawn away
Did seek a gift from Zeus to pray,
for evermore her love to kiss.
“Your wish is granted,” Jove did cry,
“enjoy thou such mortal beauty.”
