He dede next his white leere
Of cloth of lake whyt and cleere
A brech and eek a schert
Line 2049
And next his schert an aketoun
And ouer þat an haberioun
For persyng of his hert
Line 2052
And ouer þat a fyn hauberk
was al I-wrought of Iewes werk
Ful strong it was of plate
Line 2055
And ouer þat his cote-armour
As whyt as is a lily flour
In which he wold debate
Line 2058
his scheld was al of gold so red
And þer Inne was a bores heed
A charbocle by his syde /
Line 2061
And ther he swor on ale and bred
How þat þe geaunt schal be deed
Bytyde what bytyde /
Line 2064
His iambeux were of quirboily
His swerdes schethe of yuory
His helm of latoun bright
Line 2067
His sadel was of rowel boon
His bridel as þe sonne schon
Or as þe moone light
Line 2070
his spere was of Cipres
That bodeth werre and no þing pees
The heed ful scharp I-grounde /
Line 2073
His steede was al dappul gray
Hit goth an ambel in þe way /
Ful softely and rounde
Line 2076
