LXIV
' Helpe ! brother Bredbeddle,' says Marramile,
' Helpe ! for Christ's pittye ; Ffor without thy help, brother Bredbeddle,
He will never be rydden for me.'
LXV
Then bespake him Sir Bredbeddle,
These were the words said he: 'I conjure thee tell, thou Burlow-beanie,
How this steed was riddin in his country.'
LXVI
' In Cornewall's window is a gold wand ;
Let him strike three strokes on that steed, And then he will spring forth of his hand
As sparke doth out of gleede.'
Then Sir Tristram requires a horn. At Sir Bredbittle's command the sprite fetches it; but the horn will not sound until anointed with a certain powder. This also the sprite is sent to fetch.
LXX
And then bespake Sir Bredebeddle, To the ffeend these words said hee :
Says, ' I conjure thee, thou Burlow-beanie, The powder-box thou feitch me.'
LXXI
Then forth is gone Burlow-beanie,
As fast as he co'ld hie, And feich he did the powder-box,
And came againe by and by. |
