He was a wight of grisly fronte,

And muckle berd ther was upon 't,

His lockes farre down did laye:

Ful wel he setten on his hors,

Thatte fony felaws calléd Mors,

For len it was and grai.

Ilk knight he hadde ne vizor on,

His busynes were then undone,

All time was for attack;

More than, he hadde ne mail, either,
