His meinie, 2387 which that heard of this affray, Came leaping in, and chased out the frere, And forth he went with a full angry cheer 2388 And fetch’d his fellow, there as lay his store: He looked as it were a wildë boar, And groundë with his teeth, so was he wroth. A sturdy pace down to the court he go’th, Where as there wonn’d 2389 a man of great honoúr, To whom that he was always confessoúr: This worthy man was lord of that villáge. This friar came, as he were in a rage, Where as this lord sat eating at his board: Unnethës 2390 might the friar speak one word, Till at the last he saidë, “God you see.” 2391
