‘Wherefore schote, archars, for my sake,

And let scharpe arowes flee:

Mynstrell, playe up for your waryson,

And well quyt it schall bee.

44.2 ‘marke hym,’ commit himself (by signing the cross).

‘Every man thynke on hys trewe-love,

And marke hym to the Trenite;

For to God I make myne avowe

Thys day wyll I not flee.’
