Out of aray atour the larg felld;
Thar was the ſtrokis feſtnit in the ſhelde,
Thei war Reſauit at the ſperis end.
Arthur’s folk receive them manfully.
[852] So arthuris folk can manfully defend;
The formeſt can thar lyues end conclude,
Whar ſone aſſemblit al the multitude.
Thar was defens, ther was gret aſſaill,
[856] Richt wonderfull and ſtrong was ye bataill,
but sustain much pain,
