And from his oghne kinde stranged, 6040

A lappewincke mad he was,

And thus he hoppeth on the gras,[454]

And on his hed ther stant upriht

A creste in tokne he was a kniht;[455]

And yit unto this dai men seith,

A lappewincke hath lore his feith[456]

P. ii. 330

And is the brid falseste of alle.
