Til þe knyȝt com hym-self, kachande his blonk,
Syȝ hym byde at þe bay, his burneȝ bysyde,
He lyȝtes luflych1 adoun, leueȝ his corsour,
Braydeȝ out a bryȝt bront, & bigly forth strydeȝ,
Foundeȝ fast þurȝ þe forth, þer þe felle bydeȝ,
Þe wylde watȝ war of þe wyȝe with weppen in honde,
Hef hyȝly þe here, so hetterly he fnast,
Þat fele ferde for þe frekeȝ,2 lest felle hym þe worre;
Þe swyn setteȝ hym out on þe segge euen,
Þat þe burne & þe bor were boþe vpon hepeȝ,
