ERMELINE.
With lance upraised so haughtily
Sir Thunye rides from Alsey town;
On land and main he was, I ween,
A daring knight of high renown.
Sir Thunye rides in good green wood,
He fain will chase the nimble hare;
And there he meeteth the Dwarf’s daughter,
All with her band of maidens fair.
Sir Thunye rides in good green wood,
To chase the nimble hart and hind;
And there he meets the Dwarf’s daughter,
Beneath the linden bough reclin’d.
