So on he pricked, and loe, he gan espy,

A market and a crosse of glist'ning stone,

And eke a merrie rablement thereby,

That with the musik of the strong trombone,

And shaumes, and trompets made most dyvillish mone.

And in their midst he saw a lady sweet,

That rode upon a milk white steed alone,

In scarlet robe ycladd and wimple meet,

Bedight with rings of gold, and bells about her feet.

Whereat the knight empassioned was so deepe,
