Line 11356

Halff the men that with him dwelle.
¶ For he sclow mo him-selff alone
Then alle that other did euerychone,
Line 11360
And we ben now—I vnderstande—
Mo then sixti [ti over the line, inserted by another hand.] hundred thousande
Off Mennes bodies gode and able,
That ben a-pert and defendable.
Line 11364
THe dedis of Ector ben wide y-kyd,
That thei may not wel be hid:
How fele kynges sclow he of oure
With his myȝt & his vigoure!

The douȝti kyng Prothesaly!

In his strengthe sclow he him!

Kyng Mennon, that lordly sire!
We were echon of him a-dred.
How sclow he the gode kyng Ced!

And so he did kyng Prouenor

Off douȝtines and chiualrie.

The myghti kyng of douȝti Corce!

The noble kyng Piloȝenart.
