Þat he sholde puten wiþe;
He puts the stone 12 feet beyond the rest.
He putte at þe firste siþe,
Ouer alle þat þer wore,
Twel fote, and sumdel more.
Þe chaunpiouns þat [þat] put sowen,
Shuldreden he ilc oþer, and lowen;
Wolden he no more to putting gange,
But seyde, “we[52] dwellen her to longe!”
GODRICH HEARS OF HAVELOK’S STRENGTH.
