The Poetical Works of Thomas Chatterton | ||
XVIII.
Bour.Now, by Saint Mary, if on all the field
Y-crased spears and helmets were besprent,
If every knight did hold a piercèd shield,
If all the field with champions' blood were stent,
Yet to encounter him I am content.
Another lance, Marshal, another lance.
Albeit he with flames of fire y-brent,
Yet Bourtonne would against his val advance.
Five now have fallen down beneath his spear,
But he shall be the next that falleth here.
