And after went her way across the bridge,
And reach’d the town, and while the Prince and Earl
Yet spoke together, came again with one, 385
A youth, that following with a costrel bore
The means of goodly welcome, flesh and wine.
And Enid brought sweet cakes to make them cheer,
And in her veil enfolded, manchet bread.
And then, because their hall must also serve 390
For kitchen, boil’d the flesh and spread the board,
And stood behind, and waited on the three.
