Had taken into their hand Wholly all the Knightes debt,
To put that Knight to shand.

The Abbot and his meinee : ' But he come this ilke day,
Disherited shall he be.'
xcvi ' He will not come yet,' said the Justice,
' I dare well undertake.' But in sorry time for them all
The Knight came to the gate.
xcvn Then bespake that gentle Knight
Until his meinee : ' Now put on your simple weeds
That ye brought from the sea.'

They putten on their simple weeds, They came to the gates anon;
The Porter was ready himself, And welcomed them every one.
