Which spake to me, and said anon Dan Pers,

Dan Dominick, Dan Godfray, or Clement,

Ye be welcome newly into Kent:

Thogh your bridle have nother boos ne bell;

Beseeching you, that ye will tell

First of your name, and what cuntre

Without more shortly that ye be,

That looke so pale, all devoid of bloud,

Upon your head a wonder thred-bare Hood,

Well arrayed for to ride late:
