And in the feld ſuppriſit was ſo ſore,
That he the werß thar-of was euermore.
Thar ſchew the lord ſir ywan his curage,
[2708] His manhed, & his noble waſſolage;
And gawan, in his doing, wald nocht irk;
END OF THE FIRST DAY’S BATTLE.
Darkness parts the combatants.
So al the day enduring to the dyrk
Sal them, magre of thar deſyre, conſtren
[2712] On ayar half fore [to] depart in twen.
