This Gedeon awaiteth wel,
Upon the morwe and everydel, 3680
As god him bad, riht so he dede.
And thus ther leften in that stede
With him thre hundred and nomo,[1297]
The remenant was al ago:
Wherof that Gedeon merveileth,
And therupon with god conseileth,
P. iii. 216
Pleignende as ferforth as he dar.
