Galiot non armys bur that day,
[2888] Nor as o knycht he wald hyme-ſelf aray,
but was arrayed as a servant in a habergeon with a “prekyne” hat, and a truncheon in his hand.
But as o ſeruand in o habariowne,
O prekyne hat, and ek o gret trownſciowñ
In til his hond, and one o curſour ſet,
[2892] The beſt that was in ony lond to get.
Endlong the rewar men mycht behold & ſee,
Of knychtis weryne mony one aſſemble;
The black knight still remains looking towards the parapet.
