[OMITTED] “Þat þou makest offe þis bost,Tel me nou ȝef þou wost.”
Quaþ otuwel, “so mote ich þe,
I nelle nouȝt hele for eie of þe.
It was oppon a weddenesdai,
In aueril be-fore þe may,
King garsie þe weie nam,
To þe Cite of rome he cam,
Twenti þousende was þe sawe,
Þat were þare of sarazin lawe:
Corsouse m[i swerde ful] harde fel,
& bot þere Freinche flechs fol wel.”
