[Ansteorra] Looking for a Source for "but it ben of withies wrought"

[Roberta Bucher]

I came across this on a Google search

r/046567.html 

 

I'm trying to trace this quote that is used in Dorothy Dunnett's novel,
The Disorderly Knights.  Can you help?

"An it gaineth me no garland of green, but it ben of withies wrought."

 

Regards,

Roberta
