Broad sword and buckler by his side,

And they became him weele.

He tooke his bow into his hand,

It was made of a trusty tree,

With a sheafe of arrowes at his belt,

And to Fountaine-Dale went he.

And comming unto Fountaine-Dale,

No farther he would ride ;

There he was aware of the curtall fryer,

Walking by the water side.
