Of woollen cloth still framed he. Men thereat did wonder, ire
Golden fame did thunder
This strange deed in every place; The king of France came thither Being pleasant weather,
In the woods the hart to chase. i»

As their mother willed, Where the royal king
Must of force come by; Their mother richly clad iss

In costly robes of pearl and gold,— The forester bold replied, 135

And to the king he thus did say: " Well may they by their mother Wear rich gold like other,
Being by birth a princess gay." 200 178, king he coming. |
