As any wesel hire body gent and smal[[48]]

A seint[[49]] she werëd, barrëd al of silk,

A barm-cloth[[50]] eke as white as morne milk[[51]]

Upon hire lendës[[52]] ful of many a gore,

White was hire smok, and brouded[[53]] al before

And eke behind on hire colére[[54]] aboute

Of cole-black silk within and eke withoute.

The tapës of hire whitë volupere[[55]]

Were of the samë suit of hire colére;

Hire fillet brode of silk and set ful hye;
