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.
