For he had a greate heed, large visage, longe iawes, sharpe eyen, a shorte necke, crokebacked, greate belly, greate legges, large fete. And yet that whiche was worse, he was dombe and coulde nat speke: But nat withstandyng this he hadde a singuler wytte, and was greatly ingenious and subtill in cauillacions, and pleasant in wordes, after he came to his speche.
