And I before saw the neuer, sickerly, with sight;
To leif in thi laute, and thow war vnlele,
Than had I cassin in cair mony kene knight.
Bot I knaw thou art kene, and alse cruell;
Or thow be fulyeit fey, freke, in the fight,

Than thei nobillis at neid yeid to thair note new;
Freschly foundis to feght, all fenyeand thair fair;
Tua schort suerdis of scheith smertly thai drew,
Than thai mellit on mold, ane myle way and mare.
Wes newthir casar nor king thair quentance that knew,
Line 1120
It semyt be thair contenance that kendillit wes care.
Syne thai traist in that feild, throu trety of trew;
Put up thair brandis sa braid, burly and bair.
Gologras and Gawyne, gracious and gude,

The king precious in pane
Sair murnand in mude.

And raikit full redles to his riche tent;

The watter wet his chekis, that schalkis myght se,
As all his welthis in warld had bene away went,
And othir bernys for barrat blakynnit thair ble,
Braithly bundin in baill, thair breistis war blent.
"The flour of knighthede is caught throu his cruelte!
Line 1135
Now is the Round Tabill rebutit, richest of rent,
