‘O no, not so, my bully Grahame!

That e’er such a word should spoken be!

Shall I venture my body in field to fight

With a man that’s faith and troth to me?’

35.

‘Away, away, O bully Bewick,

And of all that care, man, let us be!

If thou be a man, as I trow thou art,

Come over this ditch and fight with me.’

36.
