"A dayes journey," quod she, "but litel lesse;
215
Wherfore I redë that we onward dresse;
For, I suppose, our felawship is past,
And for nothing I wold that we were last."
Than parted we, at springing of the day,
And forth we wente [a] soft and esy pace,
220
Til, at the last, we were on our journey
So fer onward, that we might see the place.
