They wer led into the place ful evene:
Ther they herden Aungeles off Hevene:
They sayde: ‘Seynyors, tuez, tuez!
‘Spares hem nought! Behedith these!’
Kyng Rychard herde the Aungelys voys,
And thankyd God, and the Holy Croys.”
—Weber, II. 144.
Note that, from the rhyme, the Angelic French was apparently pronounced “Too-eese! Too-eese!”
