¶ Now speke I wylle a lytulle whyle
Of þo chandeler, with-outen gyle,
Þat torches[55] and tortes[56] and preketes[57] con make,
Perchours,[58] smale condel, I vnder-take;
Of wax þese candels alle þat brennen,
And morter of wax þat I wele kenne;
Þo snof of hom dose a-way
With close sesours, as I ȝow say;
Þe sesours ben schort and rownde y-close,
With plate of irne vp-on bose.
