For I haf hunted al þis day, & noȝt haf I geten,
Bot þis foule fox felle, þe fende haf þe godeȝ,
& þat is ful pore, for to pay for suche prys þinges,
As ȝe haf þryȝt me here, þro suche þre cosses,
so gode."
"I-noȝ," quod sir Gawayn,
"I þonk yow, bi þe rode;"
& how þe fox watȝ slayn,
He tolde hym, as þay stode.
