The frele fleissh, whos nature is

Ai redy forto sporne and falle,

The ferste foman is of alle;

For thilke werre is redi ai,

It werreth nyht, it werreth dai,6420*

So that a man hath nevere reste.

Forthi is thilke knyht the beste,

Thurgh myht and grace of goddes sonde

Which that bataille mai withstonde:

Wherof yit duelleth the memoire
