"His heed was balded that shoon as any glas, And eek his face, as he hadde been enoynt."

"A voys he hadde as smal as hath a goot."

"His curly hair looked as if they were pressed in a machine and his clothes were embellished with red and white, as if it were a meadow full of fresh flowers."

"And certeinly, as I have herd it tolde, / Ther was no wight that he ne ferde as a folde."

"For every man that is in swich array, That he ne may nat speke, but he may pray."
