ROBYN AND GANDELYN |
||
|
v Robyn bent his joly bo we,
Ther in he set a flo; The fattest der of alle
The herte he clef a to.
VI
He hadde not the der i-flawe,
Ne half out of the hyde, There cam a schrewde arwe out of the west,
That felde Robertes pryde.
VII
Gandeleyn lokyd hym est and west,
Be every syde: ' Hoo hat myn mayster sl?yin ?
Ho hat don this dede ? Shal I never out of grene wode go
Til I se his sydis blede.'
VIII
Gandeleyn lokyd hym est and west,
And sowt under the sunne; He saw a lytil boy,
He clepyn Wrennok of Donne.
IX
A good bowe in his hond,
A brod arwe ther-ine, And fowre and twenti goode arwys,
Trusyd in a thrumme : Be war the, war the, Gandeleyn,
Her-of thu shalt han summe !
