And bind the wounds of yonder knight;

Let the gray palfrey bear his weight,

We destined for a fairer freight,

And bring him on to Stirling straight;

I will before at better speed,

To seek fresh horse and fitting weed.

The sun rides high;—I must be boune,

To see the archer game at noon;

But lightly Bayard clears the lea.—

De Vaux and Herries, follow me.”
