Ther cam non ner ney the marke
Bey halfe a god archares bowe. {90}
Stell then stod the prowde potter,

And y had a bow, be the rode,
On schot scholde yow se.
Thow schall haffe a bow, seyde the screffe,
The best that thow well cheys of thre :
Thow semyst[242] a stalward and a stronge,
Asay schall thow be.
