ITH him ther was his sone, a yonge Squier,
A lover, and a lusty bachelor.

With lockes crull' as they were laide in presse.
Of twenty yere of age he was I gesse.

Of his stature he was of even lengthe,

And wonderly deliver 2, and grete of strengthe.
And he hadde be sometime in chevachie,
In Flaundres, in Artois, and in Picardie,
And borne him wel, as of so litel space,
In hope to stonden in his ladies grace.
Embrouded was he, as it were a mede
Alle ful of freshe floures, white and rede.
Singing he was, or floyting all the day,
He was as freshe as is the monthe of May.
Short was his goune, with sleves long and wide,

Just and eke dance, and wel pourtraie and write.
