[ (196)]

Sir Torent wold no lenger abyde,

But thederward gan) he ride;

And to the feld were brought

Two knyghtes, that were there in stede; [2260]

Many a man did they to blede, [2361]

Such woundis they wrought.

There durst no man com) Torent nere,

But his son, as ye may here,

Though he knew hym nought. [2265]
