Line 660

Schir Lyonel to schir Louys wes leuit, with ane lance; Schir Ewin to shir Edmond, athir ful euin; Schir Bedwar to schir Bantellas, to enschew his chance, That baith war nemmyt in neid, nobil to neuin; To schir Sangwel soght gude Gyromalance. Line 665 Thus thai mellit and met with ane stout steuin, Thir lufly ledis on the land, without legiance; With seymely scheildis to schew, thai set vpone seuin, Thir cumly knightis to kyth ane cruel course maid. The frekis felloune in feir Line 670 Wondir stoutly can steir, With geir grundin ful cleir Rudly thai raid.

Than thair hors vith thair hochis sic harmis couth hint, As trasit in vnquart quakand thai stand; Line 675 The frekis freschly thai fure, as fyre out of flynt, Thair lufly lancis thai loissit, and lichtit on the land; Right styth, stuffit in steill, thai stotit na stynt, Bot buskit to battaille with birny and brand. Thair riche birnys thai bet derfly with dynt, Line 680 Hewis doun in grete haist, hartly with hand.
