“Of the erl Hugelin of Pise the langour

Ther may no tonge tellen for pitee.

But litel out of Pise stant a tour,

In whiche tour in prison yput was he,

And with him ben his litel children three,

The eldest scarsely five yere was of age:

Alas! fortune, it was gret crueltee

Swiche briddes for to put in swiche a cage.
