But highe God sometime senden can

His grace unto a litel oxes stall:

Janicola men of that thorpe him call.

And Grisildis this yonge maiden hight.

But for to speke of vertuous beautee,

Than was she on the fairest under Sonne:

Ful pourely yfostred up was she:

No likerous lust was in hire herte yronne;
