Her[k]neþ as we formest tolde,
Hou þe werre was fol hyȝe,
Bitwene king charles & king garsie.
Anon as winter was ygon,
Þe king a semblede his host a non,
& mochel peple cam to his hond
Out of mani diuerse lond.
Aueril was comen an winter gon,
& charles tok þe weie a non,
& drouȝ him to ward lumbardie,
To werren oppon king garsie.
Þere was set wiþ outen faille
Certein day of bataille.
