Art thou better than No-amon, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about her; whose rampart was the sea, 'and' her wall was of the sea?
Wheþer thou art betere than Alisaundre of puplis, þat dwellith in floodis? Watris ben in cumpas þerof, whos richessis is þe see, watris ben wallis þerof.
