"No creature saugh he that bar lyf, Save on the grene he saugh sittynge a wyf; A fouler wight ther may no man devyse. Agayn the knyght this olde wyf gan ryse, And seyde: Sire knyght, heerforth ne lith no wey; Tel me, what that ye seken, by youre fey. Paraventure it may the bettre be; Thise olde folk kan muchel thyng, quod she." (p. 113)
