Roulond bi-gan to meuen his blood,Þat otuwel so longe stood,
& for tene vp wiþ þe brond,
Þat he bar in his hond,
& in þe heued he þoute to redde
Otuwel, bote nouȝt he ne spedde.
Otuwel starte o side,
& lette þe swerd bi him glide,
& roulond wiþ þe swerdes end,
Reiȝte Otuwel oppon þe lende;
Als he wolde þe dent fle,
Otuwel fel on kne.
