Ne oynement. that wolde clense and byte
That hym myghte helpen / of his whelkes whyte
635
Nor of the knobbes / sittynge on his chekes

Wel loued he garlek oynons and eek lekes
And for to drynke strong wyn / reed as blood
Thanne wolde he speke / and crye as he were wood
A fewe termes hadde he / two / or thre
640
That he hadde lerned / out of som decree

No wonder is / he herde it al the day
C
And eek ye knowe wel / how þat a Iay

Kan clepen watte / as wel as kan the Pope
But who so koude / in oother thyng hym grope
645
Thanne hadde he spent al his philosophie

Ay Questio quid iuris wolde he crye
¶ He was a gentil harlot and a kynde
A bettre felawe / sholde men noght fynde
He wolde suffre / for a quart of wyn
650
A good felawe / to haue his concubyn

C
A twelf monthe / and excusen hym at the fulle

Ful pryuely / a fynch eek koude he pulle
And if he foond owher / a good felawe
He wolde techen hym / to haue noon awe
655
In swich caas / of the Ercedeknes curs

But if a mannes soule / were in his purs
For in his purs / he sholde ypunysshed be
Purs is the Ercedeknes helle / seyde he
¶ But wel I woot he lyed right in dede
660
Of cursyng oghte ech gilty man drede

For curs wol sle / right as assoillyng sauyth
And also / war hym of a significauit /
¶ In daunger hadde he / at his owene gyse
The yonge gerles / of the diocise
665
And knew hir conseil / and was al hir reed

A gerland / hadde he set vp on his heed
As greet. as it were / for an Ale stake
A bokeler / hadde he maad hym of a cake
Pardoner.¶ With hym ther rood / a gentil Pardoner
670
Of Rouncyual / his freend / and his comper

That streight was comen / fro the Court of Rome
Ful loude he soong com hyder loue to me

knowen: Hg has "knowe" with Gg Ha4, against Ch El "knowen". The Ch El reading is supported within o (Bo2) and high in cd (Cp La) and the extra syllable gives a more regular line. (Barbara Bordalejo and Peter Robinson, Jul 2, 2026, 21:18)

excuse: only two manuscripts (Ch and Gg) agree with Hg in reading "excusen". The extra syllable causes the final beat of the line to fall on the eleventh syllable "fúlle", a practice normally avoided in the Tales. Hence, despite the usual authority of the three Ch Gg Hg, we choose the form withut the final -n. (Barbara Bordalejo and Peter Robinson, Jun 29, 2026, 00:44)
