Of chapmen riche, and therto sadde and trewe,
That wyde-wher senten her spycerye,
Clothes of gold, and satins riche of hewe;
Her chaffar was so thrifty and so newe,
That every wight hath deyntee to chaffare
With hem, and eek to sellen hem hir ware.- In Syria once dwelt a company
Of rich merchants, and moreover trustworthy and true,
That wherever they sent their oriental goods,
Cloth of gold, and satins rich in color;
