þt mekil is vsed wiþ these burgese,
þt lyue mekil at hir owne ese.
þei gar (i.e. cause to) seke þe cuntre thorw,
Boþe oplond and in borw,
Riche metis for to bye,
Summe to bake and summe to frye:
Al schal ben brouht on to his ham
Beste and foul boþe wylde & tame,
And yet all þis way not fille
His yernyng & his herte wille.
