"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.
