29. ‘Once I did amisse, I tell you certainlye, When I kist Craddockes mouth vnder a greene tree, When I kist Craddockes mouth before he marryed mee.’ 30. When shee had her shreeuen, & her sines shee had tolde, The mantle stoode about her right as shee wold, 31. Seemelye of coulour, glittering like gold; Then euery knight in Arthurs court did her behold. 32. Then spake dame Gueneuer to Arthur our king: ‘She hath tane yonder mantle, not with wright but with wronge. 33. ‘See you not yonder woman that maketh her selfe soe cleane? I haue seene tane out of her bedd of men fiueteene; 34. ‘Preists, clarkes, & wedded men, from her by-deene; Yett shee taketh the mantle, & maketh her selfe cleane!’ 35. Then spake the litle boy that kept the mantle in hold; Sayes, ‘King, chasten thy wiffe; of her words shee is to bold. 36. ‘Shee is a bitch & a witch, & a whore bold; King, in thine owne hall thou art a cuchold.’ 37. A litle boy stoode looking ouer a dore; He was ware of a wyld bore, wold haue werryed a man. 38. He pulld forth a wood kniffe, fast thither that he ran; He brought in the bores head, & quitted him like a man. 39. He brought in the bores head, and was wonderous bold; He said there was neuer a cucholds kniffe carue itt that cold. 40. Some rubbed their k[n]iues vppon a whetstone; Some threw them vnder the table, & said they had none. 41. King Arthur & the child stood looking them vpon; All their k[n]iues edges turned backe againe. 42. Craddoccke had a litle kniue of iron & of steele; He birtled the bores head wonderous weele, That euery knight in the Kings court had a morssell. 43. The litle boy had a horne, of red gold that ronge; He said, ‘There was noe cuckolde shall drinke of my horne, But he shold itt sheede, either behind or beforne.’ 44. Some shedd on their shoulder, & some on their knee; He that cold not hitt his mouth put it in his eye; & he that was a cuckold, euery man might him see. 45. Craddoccke wan the horne & the bores head; His ladye wan the mantle vnto her meede; Euerye such a louely ladye, God send her well to speede!
