And sum armed on hors sete;
And sum astrangled as thai ete;
And sum were in water adreynt[134];
And sum with fire al for schreynt[135];
Wives ther lay on child bedde;
Sum ded, and sum awedde[136];
And wonder fele ther lay bisides,
Right as thai slepe her under tides;
Eche was thus in this warld y nome,
With fairi thider y come.
