The presentes ben ful royally y-fet,
This is to seyn, the swerd and the mirour, 175
And born anon in-to the heighe tour
With certeine officers ordeyned therfore;
And un-to Canacee this ring was bore (170)
Solempnely, ther she sit at the table.
But sikerly, with-outen any fable, 180
The hors of bras, that may nat be remewed,
It stant as it were to the ground y-glewed.
Ther may no man out of the place it dryve
For noon engyn of windas or polyve;
And cause why, for they can nat the craft. 185
And therefore in the place they han it laft
Til that the knight hath taught hem the manere
To voyden him, as ye shal after here. (180)
