Otous answerd wiþ wicked mod
& seyd, ‘sir, no seystow bot gode.
When ȝe þe traitours loue so,
Þat ye no wille hem to deþ do,
In prisoun þou schalt hem legge,
So þat hij it schul dere abigge,
Alle fort þai han y-founden þe ostage
Þat hij no do þe non vtrage.’
So he glosed þe douk in þat stede,
& so ȝernne he haþ him bede,
Me douteþ þe douke of Paui,
Lest he do þe sum felonie.’
