That the worst was worthe the ransoun

Of any king; the second a shield bright

Bare at his backe; the thred bare upright

A mighty spere, full sharpe ground and kene,

And every childe ware of leaves grene

A fresh chapelet upon his haires bright;

And clokes white of fine velvet they ware,

Their steeds trapped and raied right

Without difference as their lordes were,

And after hem on many a fresh corsere,
