Roulond sauȝ be contenaunse,
His broþer was hurt wiþ þe launce;
His wardecors a non he fond,
& tok a spere out of his hond,
& made his hors make a sturt,
To him þat hadde his broþer hurt;
& touchede him wiþ þe speres ord,
Þat neuere eft he ne spak word;
& tok myafles stede a non,
& sette oliuer þer on.
