Be nyhte tok toward thilke host,

Which logged was in a valleie,

To hiere what thei wolden seie; 3700

Upon his fot and as he ferde,[1301]

Tuo Sarazins spekende he herde.(3900*)

Quod on, ‘Ared mi swevene ariht,

Which I mette in mi slep to nyht.[1302]

Me thoghte I sih a barli cake,

Which fro the Hull his weie hath take,

And cam rollende doun at ones;
