But sey me now, Syr Satrapas, what autoryte ye haue

In your chalenge, Syr Chystyn, to cale me knaue?

What, haue ye kythyd yow a knyght, Syr Dugles the dowty,

So currysly to beknaue me in the kynges place?[547]

Ye stronge sturdy stalyon, so sterne and stowty, 10

Ye bere yow bolde as Barabas, or Syr Terry of Trace;[548]

Ye gyrne grymly with your gomys and with your grysly face.

But sey me yet, Syr Satropas, what auctoryte ye haue

In your chalange, Syr Chesten, to calle me a knaue?

Ye fowle, fers and felle, as Syr Ferumbras the ffreke,
