Felle face as þe fyre, & fre of hys speche;
& wel hym semed for soþe, as þe segge þuȝt,
To lede a lortschyp in lee of leudeȝ ful gode.

To delyuer hym a leude, hym loȝly to serue;

Of cortynes of clene sylk, wyth cler golde hemmeȝ,
& couertoreȝ ful curious, with comlych paneȝ,
Of bryȝt blaunnier a-boue enbrawded bisydeȝ,
