'Let's see,' quoth he, 'now who begins:'

With that the foul Seven Deadly Sins

Began to leap at anis.[11]

And first of all in dance was Pride,

With hair wyld[12] back, and bonnet on side,

Like to make wasty weanis;[13]

And round about him, as a wheel,

Hang all in rumples to the heel,

His kethat[14] for the nanis.[15]

Many proud trompour[16] with him tripped,

Through scalding fire aye as they skipped,

They girn'd[17] with hideous granis.[18]
