N the third day of May To Carleile did come A kind curteous child
That co'ld much of wisdome.

This child had uppon, With brauches and ringes
Full richelye bedone.

About his middle drawne; Without he co'ld of curtesye
He thought it much shame.

Sitting at thy meate; And the goodly Queene Guenever!
I cannot her forget.
v ' I tell you, lords in this hall,
I hett you all heed, Except you be the more surer
Is for you to dread.'
