And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready at the quarry; and there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
Forsoþe whanne þe hows was bildid, it was bildid of stoonys hewid and perfit; and an hamer, and ax, and al thing maad of yrun, weren not herd in þe hows, while it was in bildyng.
