As ech of hem a qweene weere,

That al þe gold of Cresus halle

The leste coronal of alle

Ne mihte haue boght after þe worþ:

Thus come þei ridende forþ.

The kinges dowhter, which þis syh,

ffor pure abaissht drowh hire adryh

And hield hire clos vnder þe bowh,

And let hem passen stille ynowh;

ffor as hire þoghte in hire avis,
