To lappe his body ther in. aeo

And many a ryche aray; There is no marchaunt in mery Englonde,
So ryche, I dare well saye."
" Take hym thre yerdes of every coloure, aw
And loke that well mete it be:" Lytell Johan toke none other mesure
But his bowe tre.
And of every handfull that he met
He lept ouer fotes thre : 2*'

By god, it cost him but lyght." 280, helpe, W. wrappe, C. |
