"In at the halle-dore, al sodeynly, Ther cam a knyght upon a steede of bras, And in his hand a brood mirour of glas.  Upon his thombe he hadde of gold a ring, And by his syde a naked swerd hangyng; And up he rideth to the heighe bord. In al the halle ne was ther spoken a word For merveille of this knyght; hym to biholde Ful bisily ther wayten yonge and olde." (p. 153-4)
