And er that half a furlong wey of space,
before you could go 100 yards
Right so as bees out swarmen from an hyve, just like bees swarming from an hive
Out of the develes ers ther gonne dryve out of the devil's ass there went a drive
Twenty thousand freres on a route, And thurghout helle swarmed al aboute, And comen agayn as faste as they may gon, And in his ers they crepten everychon.
It should be noted that the use of the word drive
as a noun meaning the act of driving a thing
or a group of things, like cattle, or a car on a Sunday afternoon,
is still current in the language.
