And their eyen be in their
shoulders.
And in another isle be folk that have the face all flat, all plain,
without nose and without mouth. But they have two small holes, all
round, instead of their eyes, and their mouth is plat also without
lips.
And in another isle be folk of foul fashion and shape that have the
lip above the mouth so great, that when they sleep in the sun they
cover all the face with that lip.
And in another isle there be little folk, as dwarfs. And they be
two so much as the pigmies. And they have no mouth; but instead of
their mouth they have a little round hole, and when they shall eat
or drink, they take through a pipe or a pen or such a thing, and
suck it in, for they have no tongue; and therefore they speak not,
but they make a manner of hissing as an adder doth, and they make
signs one to another as monks do, by the which every of them
understandeth other.
And in another isle be folk that have great ears and long, that
hang down to their knees.
And in another isle be folk that have horses' feet. And they be
strong and mighty, and swift runners; for they take wild beasts
with running, and eat them.
