LXVI. lines 12847-12952, Fr. 12747-12846 177

The Dreamer hear ye now declare
What guise the God of Love doth bear.

LXVII. lines 12953-13042, Fr. 12847-12932 181

False-Seeming lightly giveth mate
To Evil-Tongue, with well-filed prate.

LXVIII. lines 13043-13066, Fr. 12933-12956 184

How by a razor—not a sword—
Met Evil-Tongue his just reward,
Therewith False-Seeming cut his tongue
From out his mouth—his knell was rung.

LXIX. lines 13067-13270, Fr. 12957-13164 185

False-Seeming, who to lovers shows
Sweet comfort, with his leman goes
Across the threshold, with him he
Doth Largess lead and Courtesy.

LXX. lines 13271-13416, Fr. 13165-13310 192

The crone, desirous to console
Fair-Welcome’s grief and bitter dole,
The Lover’s story doth relate,
Who is for him disconsolate.

LXXI. lines 13417-13714, Fr. 13311-13598 197

Induced by what the hag bath said,
Fair-Welcome setteth on his head
The garland, and doth take therein
A pledge to sell his very skin.
