Much they marvel to see a man and a horse 232

Ther wat3 lokyng on lenþe, þe lude to be-holde,

For vch mon had meruayle quat hit mene my3t,

Þat a haþel & a horse my3t such a hwe lach,

As growe grene as þe gres & grener hit semed,

Þen grene aumayl on golde lowande bry3ter;

Al studied þat þer stod, & stalked hym nerre,

Wyth al þe wonder of þe worlde, what he worch schulde.

For fele sellye3 had þay sen, bot such neuer are,
