Þere was a sarazin strong,Þat bar a brod swerd & a long,
& was hoten encumbrer,
& bigan to neiȝen hem ner,
Oppon a muche blak stede;
& otuwel took of him hede,
& of his armes hadde a siȝt,
& knuȝ him a non riȝt:
& no lengere he ne abod,
Otuwel to him rood,
& bar him doun hors & man,
Þus otuwel gamen bi-gan.
