(20)
Than he that hath [aboght] his love ful dere,
Or had in armes many a blody [box].
For ever as tendre a capoun [et] the fox,
1390
Thogh he be fals and hath the foul betrayed,
As shal [the good-man that ther-for hath payed].
Al have he to the capoun skille and right,
The false fox wol have his part at night.
