The hall was hanged, hye and circuler,

With cloth of arras in the rychest maner,

That treated well of a ful noble story,

Of the doubty waye to the tower perillous;

Howe a noble knyght should wynne the victory

Of many a serpente fowle and odious:

And the first matter then appeared thus;

Howe at a venture and by sodayne chaunce

He met with Fame by fortunes purveyaunce.

Whiche did hym shewe of the famous pulcritude
