And blowen here bellewys, þat al here brayn brestes:

'Huf, puf!' seith þat on; 'haf, paf!' þat oþer.

Þei spyttyn and spraulyn and spellyn many spelles;

Þei gnauen and gnacchen, þei gronys togydere,

And holdyn hem hote wyth here hard hamers. 10

Of a bole-hyde ben here barm-fellys;

Here schankes ben schakeled for the fere flunderys;

Heuy hamerys þei han, þat hard ben handled,

Stark strokes þei stryken on a stelyd stokke:

Lus, bus! las, das! rowtyn be rowe. 15
