"But which a congregacioun Of folk, as I saugh rome aboute Some within and some withoute, Nas never seen, ne shal ben eft; That, certes, in the world nis left So many formed by Nature, Ne deed so many a creature; That wel unethe, in that place, Hadde I oon foot-brede of space; And every wight that I saugh there Rouned ech in otheres ere A newe tyding prevely, Or elles tolde al openly Right thus, and seyde: Nost not thou That is betid, lo, late or now?"
