Hes weyffe feyr welcomed hem horn, And to hem gan sche saye:
" Seyr, how haffe yow fared yn grene foreyst ?
Haffe ye browt Roben hom ? " 290
" Dam, the deyell spede him, bothe bodey and bon,
T haffe hade a foil grete skorne.
" Of all the god that y haffe lade to grene wod,

" Now haffe yow payed for all the pottys aoa That Roben gaffe to me.
