And that was no great wonder,
The wonder was to see them run,
And break no Staves in sunder.
They ran full swift and coucht their Speares,
O ho quoth the Ladies then,
They run for shew, quoth the people though,
And not to hurt the men.
They smote full hard at Barriers too,
You might have heard the sound,
As far as any man can goe,
