The soth for to say,

Tyll he had got foure hondreth pounde

All redy for too paye.

He purveyed hym an hondred bowes,

The strenges [were] welle dyght,

An hondred shefe of arowes good,

The hedes burnyshed full bryght,

And every arowe an elle longe,

With pecocke well ydyght,

Inocked all with whyte sylvèr,
