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.
