¶ 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.
