In the Chaucer quote:

Were I unbounden, all so may I the, I woulde never eft come in the snare.

It should be noted that it is eft come ... from Middle English eft comen (to come back, return), from Old English eftcuman (to come again, return) AnWulf ... Ferþu Hal! 02:46, 2 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
