world that gathereth most grease within and that 

 is because of the long sleeping that he sleepeth. 

 And his grease bears medicine as does that of the 

 fox, and yet more^ and men say that if a child 

 that hath never worn shoes is first shod with those 

 made of the skin of the grey that child will heal 

 a horse of farcy if he should ride upon him, but 

 thereof I make no affirmation. His flesh is not 

 to eat, neither is that of the fox nor of the wolf.
