1 The woeful dwarf, who saw his master's fall 2 While he had keeping of his grazing steed, 3 And valiant knight become a caitiff thrall,

And > [And saw a] caitiff thrall > wretched slave

4 When all was past, took up his forlorn weed,

weed > attire

5 His mighty armour, missing most at need;

most > [when most]

6 His silver shield, now idle, masterless; 7 His poignant spear, that many made to bleed,

poignant > sharp-pointed, piercing

8 The rueful monuments of heaviness,

heaviness > grief, sadness
