Dwellende tho withinne a Strete

So nyh togedre, as it was sene,

That ther was nothing hem betwene, 1340

Bot wow to wow and wall to wall.

This o lord hadde in special

A Sone, a lusti Bacheler,

In al the toun was non his pier:

That other hadde a dowhter eke,

In al the lond that forto seke

Men wisten non so faire as sche.
