Than in his hode I sawe there faces tweyne;

That one was lene and lyke a pyned goost,

That other loked as he wolde me haue[319] slayne; 430

And to me warde as he gan for to coost,

Whan that he was euen at me almoost,

I sawe a knyfe hyd in his one sleue,

Wheron was wryten this worde, Myscheue.

And in his other sleue, me thought, I sawe

A spone of golde, full of hony swete,

To fede a fole, and for to preue a dawe;[320]
