Loud alarm upon land sounded was then;
Ryche, ruþed of her rest, ran to here wedes,
Rich (men) roused from their rest, ran to their weeds,
Hard hattes þay hent & on hors lepes
Kettle hats they seized, and on horse leap;
Cler claryoun crak cryed on-lofte
Clear clarion’s crack cried aloft.
By þat watȝ alle on a hepe hurlande swyþee
By that (time) was all on a heap, hurling fast,
Folȝande þat oþer flote, & fonde hem bilyue
