If that he be a man, he [shal do] so.
And we shul make him balles eek also
[Of wexe and towe, that, whan he gapeth faste],
2005
Into the bestes throte he shal hem caste
(121)
To slake his hunger and encombre his teeth;
And right anon, whan that Theseus seeth
The beste achoked, he shal on him lepe
To sleen him, or they comen more [to-hepe].
