C
In curteisye was set ful muchel hir list

Hir ouerlyppe wyped she so cleene
That in hir coppe ther was no ferthyng seene
135
Of grece whan she dronken hadde hir draghte

Ful semely after hir mete she raghte
And sikerly she was of greet desport
And ful plesaunt and amyable of port
And peyned hire to countrefete chiere

Caught in a trappe if it weere deed or bledde

Of smale houndes hadde she that she fedde
With rosted flessh or mylk and wastel breed
But soore wepte she if oon of hem weere deed
Leueþe me sheo wepte Ful sore whan on was dede
Or if men smoot it with a yerde smerte

Ful semely hir wympel pynched was
Hir nose tretez hir eyen greye as glas
Hir mouth ful smal and therto softe and reed
But sikerly she hadde a fair forheed
155
It was almoost a spanne brood I trowe

For hardily she was nat vndergrowe
Ful fetys was hir cloke as I was war
Of smal coral aboute hir arm she bar
A peyre of bedes gauded al with greene

And theron heeng a brooch of gold ful sheene

Edited text
From Ha3
was set ful muchel: The presence of nine variants here shows the difficulty scribes had with this phrase. Only one ms, To1, agrees wth Hg on reading 'muchel" with omission of "ful". The agreement of Ch El here with Ps Py, the pair Bo1/Ph2 and a scattering of mss from a b and cd, make it likely that this was the reading in the archetype.
