William Caxton

“ O ye lordes thynke ye that this is good / yet is ther more / he complayneth how that Reynart myn eme hath moche trespaced to hym by cause of his wyf / Myn Eme hath leyn by her but that is wel seuen yer to fore / er he wedded her / and yf reynart for loue and curtosye dyde with her his wille / what was that / She was sone heled therof / hierof by ryght shold be no complaynt were Isegrym wyse. ”

“ Thus as grymbert his eme stode and preched thise wordes / so sawe they comen doun the hylle to hem chauntecler the cock and brought on abiere a deed henne of whom reynart had byten the heed of / and that muste be shewed to the kynge for to haue knowleche therof. ”
