Ful wel she sange the servicë devine,

Entunëd in hire nose ful swetëly;

And Frenche she spake ful fayre and fetisly[[24]]

After the scole of Stratford-attë-Bowe,[[25]]

For Frenche of Paris was to hire unknowe.

At mete was she wel ytaught withalle;

She lette no morsel from hire lippë falle,

Ne wette hire fingres in hire saucë depe.

Wel coude she carie a morsel, and wel kepe,

Thatte no drope ne fell upon hire brest.
