With small adoe, and nature satisfyde,
The which doth litle craue contented to abyde.
Tho when they had their hunger slaked well, xviii
And the fayre mayd the table ta’ne away,
The gentle knight, as he that did excell
In courtesie, and well could doe and say,
For so great kindnesse as he found that day,
Gan greatly thanke his host and his good wife;
And drawing thence his speach another way,
Gan highly to commend the happie life,
