CHAPTER VI. THEY FARE TO THE CLOVEN MOTE.
[Songs extracted from the prose narrative.]
22
[The stave against Surly John.]
To run and to fightAre deeds free to the wight,
And John tried in battle
Had heard the boards rattle,
But needed to prove
The race back to the stove;
So his wightness he showed
In way-wearing the road.
While Osberne, who knew
How the foot-race to do,
Must try the new game
Where the battle-beasts came.
Bairn for fight, but for running the strong man and tall,
And all folk for the laughter when both are in hall.
