CCCCXXXIII

Evermore he laid down Both for knightes and for squires,
To get him great renown.

He had no man but twain, Little John and good Scathelock
With him all for to gane.

A stiff and eke a strong ; I was counted the best archer
That was in merry Englond.
CCCCXXXVIII

6 Alas and well-a-way ! If I dwell longer with the King.
Sorrow will me slay.'
