TORRENT SENDS THE KING OF PORTUGAL TO DROWN.

[ (184)]

There wold none the yatis deffend,

But lett sir Torent in wend [2120]

With his men) euerychone. [2221]

Swith a counsell̴ yede they to,

To what deth they wold hym do,

For he his lady had slone.

‘Lordis,’ he said, ‘he is a kyng, [2125]

Men may hym) nether hede ne hing.’
