The remenant is as no thing.

He seith ek, if the pourpos holde

To sle the poeple, as thei tuo wolde,

Whan thei it mihte noght restore,

Al Grece it scholde abegge sore,

To se the wilde beste wone

Wher whilom duelte a mannes Sone:[1004] 1830

And for that cause he bad hem trete,

And stinte of the manaces grete.[1005]
