60. Enforce we us
Enforce we us with all our might
To love Saint George our lady knight.
To love Saint George our lady knight.
1
Worship of virtue is the meed,And sueth him ay of right;
To worship George then have we need,
Which is our sov'reign lady's knight.

He kept the maid from dragon's dread,And fraïd all France and put to flight
At Agincourt, the chronicle ye read;
The French him see formost in fight.
3
In his virtue he will us leadAgainës the fiend, the foul wight,
And with his banner us over spread,
If we him love with all our might.
