Ther come to me to fair knightes

Wele y armed al to rightes,

And bad me comen an heighing,[89]

And speke with her lord the king;

And Ich answerd at wordes bold,

Y durst nought, no y nold.

Thai priked oghain[90] as thai might drive,

Tho com her king also blive,

With an hundred knightes and mo,

And damissels an hundred al so;
