Astaward wiþ roulond mette,Nouȝt he ne spak, ne him ne grette,
Bot smot him wiþ his spere anon.
Þorou þe sscheld he made hit gon.
& roulondes spere, y-wis,
Was wel betere than was his,
To astawardes herte hit ȝede,
& caste him doun of his stede,
“Aris,” quaþ roulond, “& tak þe bet,
At this time þou art i-let.”
