And round about him as a wheel

Hung all in rumples to the heel

His kethat[66] for the nanis.[67]

Mony proud trumpour[68] with him trippit;

Through scalding fire aye as they skippit

They girned[69] with hideous granis.[70]

Then Ire came in with sturt[71] and strife

His hand was aye upon his knife,

He brandeist like a beir.[72]
