MS. Reg. 13. A. xxi.
The parallel versions, from the French, of Laȝamon, Robert of Gloucester, and Robert of Brunne, may be read in Mr Ellis’s Specimens of Early English Poets. At the feast of Olimpias, described in the Romance of Kyng Alisaunder, we obtain an additional imitation.
Withoute theo toun was mury,
Was reised ther al maner pley;
There was knyghtis turnyng,
There was maidenes carolyng,
There was champions skyrmyng,
Of heom and of other wrastlyng,
Of liouns chas, of beore baityng,
