Than send the Lord out throw the land,

And gat ane hundreth hors fra hand.

To his presence he brocht in haist,

And bad the Squyer cheis[378] him the best.

Of that the Squyer was rejoisit,

And cheisit the best as he suppoisit,

And lap on hym delyverlie[379].

Was never hors ran mair plesantlie

With speir and sword at his command,

And was the best of all the land.
