Bot sithen ferst this world began,

Was nevere yit to such a man 560

Mor joie mad than thei him made:

For thei were alle of him so glade,

That thei for evere in remembrance

Made a figure in resemblance

Of him, and in the comun place[1514]

Thei sette him up, so that his face[1515]

Mihte every maner man beholde,

So as the cite was beholde;[1516]
