XVI.

Bergh.
Now, now, sir knight, attour thy beaver'd eyne,
I have borne down, and eft do gauntlet thee.
Quickly begin, and wryn thy fate or mine,
If thou discomfit, it will doubly be.

[Bourtonne and Berghamme tilt. Berghamme falls.

Her.
Symonne de Bourtonne now hath borne down three,
And by the third had honour of a fourth.
Let him be set aside, till he doth see
A tilting for a knight of gentle worth.
Here come strange knightès, and, if courteous they,
It well beseems to give them right of fray.
