Thatte mony a clerk did pain;

Which guessed it, 'Forte Fuor Vi!'

The people giggled, 'l' your ey;

It's Fume and Fight in Vain!'

Eftsoons hire cloke ye awful Night,

Yspreaden roun ilk warrihour wight,

Ye glasse of chivalrie;

But nothing daunt, he kept his course,

As well as mote his sorry hors,

Farre to the North countrée.
