Long time after that he was ded,
The king Saül him axeth red,[1260] 1940
If that he schal go fyhte or non.
And Samuel him seide anon,
P. ii. 67
‘The ferste day of the bataille
Thou schalt be slain withoute faile[1261]
And Jonathas thi Sone also.’
Bot hou as evere it felle so,
This worthi kniht of his corage
