We rede in 'Libro de Dono Timoris' how þat a thefe come privalie on̛ a nyght vnto a philosophur bed̛ þer he lay, & nemelie he drew at þe couerlad̛ att lay on̛ hym̛, & wolde hafe stollen it away. And he felid̛ at one pullid̛ at itt, & put vp his hand̛ & drew it agayn̛. And with-in a while after, þis thief drew agayn̛, & he held̛; and þus þai did̛ twice or thrice. And when̛ þai had long done so, þe philosophur spak vnto hym̛ & said̛; "þou vnhappie man̛! Take þe couerlad, & go þi wais þer-with, & latt me lygg in reste."
