And shortly whan the sonne was at reste  
 So had I spokyn with hem euerichon  
 That I was of hir feleship anon  
 And made forward erly forto ryse  
 To take our wey there as I you deuyse  
But natheles whiles that y haue tyme & space  
 Or that y ferthir in this tale pace  
 Me thynketh that it were accordaunt to reson  
 To telle you al the condicion  
 Of eche of hem so as it semed me  
And whiche they were and of what degre  
 And in what aray eke they weren ynne  
 ANd at a knyght I wil begynne  
 A knyght ther was a worthy man  
 That fro the tyme he first began  
To riden out he loued chyualrye  
 Trouthe and honour fredom and curtesye  
 Ful worthy he was in his lordis werre  
 And therto hadde he riden noman ferre  
 And as wel in cristendom as in hethenesse  
And euer hadde honour for his worthynesse  
 At alisaundre he was whan it was wonne  
 Ful ofte tyme he had the boord begonne  
 Abouen alle nacions in pruce  
 In lettowe hadde he reysed and in Ruse  
No cristen man so eften tymes as he  
 In granade at the sege eke hadde he be  
 In algrith hadde he riden and in belmarie  
 At cartage was he and eke at satalye
