Hit was on childermasse day,Soþ to segge wiþ outen nay,
Þat king charles of sein denys,
Wente him to ward parys.
Hise duzze peres wit him he nam,
& muche poeple to him kam,
& token alle here consail þare,
Þat þei wolden wiþ alle fare,

& werren þere wiþ godes foon,
& hadden set a certein day,
To wenden þider wiþ outen delay:
Bote ar þei þiderward ferden,
Suiche tydinges þei herden,
Of a sarasin douȝti & good,
Þat a-moeuede al here blod.
