Thus happinnit till him of his lame.
And a gud knycht Patrik þe Grahame,
That had travalit beȝond þe se
Till eik his priss and his bounte,
Herd speke of his iusting gretly,
And sped him þidder in gret hy,
And come þare on þe toþer day.
Than Richart Talbot can him pray
To serue him of thre courss of were,
And he him grantit but dangere.
Sone eftir samyn can þai ryne;
The Talbot on had platis twyn,
And throu þaim baith his speire he baire,
And in þe breist ane insche and mare.
Had he iustit as cunnand wes,
He had bene dede in to þat place.
Off þare coursis þai ran na ma,
Na nane had mare harme of þai twa.
Bot þe Talbot can him requere
To be with him at þe suppere.
He assentit, and quhen þai were
Sittand best at þe suppere,
Thare salust þaim a cumly knycht,
That semyt stout, bald and wycht.
Amang þaim all sittand þare,
At Schir Patrik thre courss of were
He askit him for cumpany,
And he, as bourdand, said smethly:
“Man, will þov haif of me iusting?
Ryss vp to morne in þe mornyng,
And heir þi mess weill, and schrif þe;
And þov sall weill deliuerit be.”
Thareof he maid him na gabing;
For on þe morne at þe iusting
He baire him throu þe body quyte,
And he deit of þe dynt full tyte.
This wes apon þe thrid day.

As to þis price gevin, forthy

On þis wiss spak þat herrot þare;

And þan þe noble erll can say:
“I trow it hes bene seildin sene
That iusting of weire þus hes bene
Continewit thre dais, and þe priss
