And on that oother syde / a gay daggere
Harneysed wel / and sharp̄ / as poynt of spere
115
A xp̄christofre on his brest of siluer sheene

An horn he bar / the bawdryk was of greene
A Forster was he / soothly as I gesse
Prioresse.¶ Ther was also / a Nonne a Prioresse
That of hir smylyng was ful symple and coy
120
Hir gretteste ooth / was but by Seint Loy

And she was clepyd / madame Eglentyne
Ful wel she soong / the seruyce dyuyne,
C
Entuned in hir nose / ful semely

And frenssh she spak ful faire and fetisly
125 C
After the scole / of Stratford at the Bowe

For frenssh of Parys / was to hire vnknowe
At mete / wel ytaught was she with alle
She leet no morsel / from hir lyppes falle
Ne wette hir fyngres / in hir sauce deepe
130
Wel koude she carye a morsel / and wel keepe

C
That no drope / fille vp on hir brist

C
In curteisye / was set muchel hir list

Hir ouer lyppe / 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
140
Of Court and been estatlich of manere

And to been holden / digne of reủerence
But for to speken / of hir conscience
She was so charitable / and so pitous
She wolde wepewepe / if þat she sawe a Mous
145
Caught in a trappe / if it weere deed / or bledde

Of smale houndes / hadde she / þat she fedde
With rosted flessh / or mylk / and wastel breed
But soore wepte she / if oon of hem weere deed
Or if men smoot it / with a yerde smerte
150
And al was conscience / and tendre herte

Ful semely / hir wympel pynched was
Hir nose tretez / hir eyen / greye as glas

nose: This reading is found in most of the witnesses but was replaced in some texts by "voys," presumably because it is an easier reading that makes immediate sense. Although the main text of Ps agrees with the reading "voys," a later correction reads "nose." Bo2 and To1 share the reading "note." (Barbara Bordalejo and Peter Robinson, Jun 29, 2026, 08:54)

Stratford atte Bowe: Hg has "at the", together with a b, Gg from o and a few mss in cd ungrouped. Here, the agreement of Ch and El with a few mss which are high in cd (Cp Lc Se Ha2) and mss which frequently align with o (Ha4 Ps) suggest that the Ch El reading stood in the archetype.

fille: This is another instance of Hg, Ch and Ha4 (supported by other witnesses) agreeing against El, which reads, together with many other witnesses, "ne fille". (Barbara Bordalejo and Peter Robinson, Jun 29, 2026, 08:54)
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.
