THE ENGLISH MARCH TO GRIMSBY.
Ne hoseled ben, ne of prest shriuen,
Til þat he ben of londe driuen.
Nime we swiþe, and do hem fle,
And folwes alle faste me,
He will lead them himself.
For ich am he, of al þe ferd,
Þat first shal slo with drawen swerd.
Daþeyt hwo ne stonde faste
Bi me, hwil hise armes laste!”
