King.Now to the tourney; who will first affray?
Her.
Nevylle, a baron, be that honour thine.
Bour.
I claim the passage.
Nev.
I contest thy way.
Bour.
Then there's my gauntlet on my gaberdine.
Her.
A lawful challenge, knights and champions digne,
A lawful challenge! Let the slogan sound. [Sir Simon and Nevylle tilt.
Nevylle is going, man and horse, to ground. [Nevylle falls.
My lords, how doughtily the tilters join!
Ye champions, here Symonne de Bourtonne fights,
One hath he quash'd; assail him, O ye knights.
