Of smal coral aboute hir arme she baar

A paire of bedës gauded all with grene,

And thereon heng a broch of gold ful schene

On which was first y-writ a crownéd A,

And after—Amor Vincit Omnia!

Then comes the Monk, who has a shiny pate, who is stout, well fed, pretentious; his very trappings make a portrait—

And when he rood, men might his bridel heere

Gingling in a whistlyng wynd as cleere

And eek as loude as doth the chapel belle.
