Bot sche which al the chance ladde,
Fortune, schop the Marches so,
That be thassent of bothe tuo,
P. i. 247
The Soldan and the Caliphe eke,
Bataille upon a dai thei seke, 2600
Which was in such a wise set
That lengere scholde it noght be let.
Thei made hem stronge on every side,
And whan it drowh toward the tide
