“Porter,” quaþ þe squier þo,‘Vndo þe gate & let us go.
We here tellen, bi sire mahoun,
Þat cristene men goon alle a doun,

We wole witen hou it is,
& ȝef we ani good winne,
For soþe þou schalt parten þer inne.”
& he dude op þe ȝate wide,
& lette ham boþe out ride,
& steek aȝein þe gate fast,
& þere þei sien ogger last.
