And what awalith owthir ſheld or ſper,
[1512] Or horß or armoure according for ye were,
[Fol. 19 b.]
Vith-outen man them for to ſtere and led?
and a man that wanteth heart is dead.
And man, yow wot, that vantith hart is ded,
That in to armys ſeruith he of noght;
[1516] A cowart oft ful mekil harm haith vroght.
In multitude nore ȝhit in confluens
Of ſich, is nowther manhed nore defens.
