And conne he letterure, 4714 or conne he none, As in effect, he shall it find all one; For bothë two, by my salvatión, Concluden in multiplicatión 4715 Alikë well, when they have all y-do; This is to say, they failë bothë two. Yet forgot I to makë rehearsále Of waters corrosive, and of limáile, 4716 And of bodies’ mollificatión, And also of their induratión, Oilës, ablutions, metál fusíble, To tellen all, would passen any Bible That owhere 4717 is; wherefore, as for the best, Of all these namës now will I me rest; For, as I trow, I have you told enough To raise a fiend, all look he ne’er so rough. 4718
