And saw another lady, proud and newe,

And right anon he cladde him in hir hewe—
Wot I not whether in whyte, rede, or grene—
And falsed fair Anelida the quene.
But never-the-les, gret wonder was hit noon
Thogh he wer fals, for hit is kinde of man,

Sith Lamek was, that is so longe agoon,
To been in love as fals as ever he can;
