Otuwel, douȝti of dede,
Where þei comen he took hede,

111

& no lengere he ne bood,
Bote hasteliche to ham he rood.
Roulond & oliuer,
Neiȝeden otuwel ner,
& þe gode ȝinge kniȝt,
Þat was so douȝti man in fiȝt.
Þo þei foure weren ifere,
Þo miȝte men seen & here
Harde strokes dele & diȝte,
& wiþ sarazins boldeliche fiȝte.
