¶ And here bygynneth þe prologe of the Pardoner
Owre ost gan swere as he were wood
Harrow quod he by nayles and by blood
This was a cursed þef a fals Iustice
As schendful deþ as herte can deuise /
So falle vpon his body and his boones /
The deuel I bykenne him al at oones /
Allas to deere boughte sche hir beaute Pardoūes
