As a man that had be wode :

“Buske you, my mery younge men,

For hym that dyed on a rode ; {61}

And he that this sorowe forsaketh,

By hym that dyed on a tre,

And by him that al thinges maketh,

No lenger shall dwell with me.” [192]

Sone there were good bowes ibent,

Mo than seven score,

Hedge ne dyche spared they none,
