Gij forþ goþ, & þai bileue þare,
Þat for hym hadde miche care.
To þe se he is y-come,
Gode winde he haþ atte frome.
Y-comen he is in-to Normundye,
Kniȝtschip he schewed on hye.
Þennes he went in-to Speyne;
Nis turnament non in-to Almeyne,

& michel y-preised so is he.
Þennes to Lombardye he went;

Þer he dede him preyse miche,
Þe Lombardes him loued inliche;
He was large, curteys, & fre:
Of miche miȝt so was he.
