It was a world to loke on her visage.

540

Thus coming forth, to sit in her estat,

In her presence we kneled down echon,

Presentinge up our billes, and, wot ye what,

Ful humb[el]ly she took hem, by on and on;

When we had don, than cam they al anon,

545

And did the same, eche after her manere,

Knelinge at ones, and rysinge al in-fere.
