Ihesu Crist, of heuen Kyng,

Graunt vs all good endyng

And beld vs in hys bowre;

And &y;ef hem ioye &t;at loue to here

Of eldres &t;at before vs were 5

And lyued in grett antowre.

That was both hardy and wyght,

And stronge in ylke a stowre;

Of dedys of armys &t;at he myght here To

He wan degre with iurnay clere,

And in felde the floure.

In Artas he was geten and born,

And all his eldres hym beforn

Lestenyth! I wyll yow say. 15

To dede of armys he ys went;

Wyth &t;e erle of Artas is he lent,

For deernes, nyght and day.

Syr Eglamour men call &t;e kny&y;t, 20

That du&y;ty was euyr and ay.

And this erle hadde hyrn in wold

To dedes of armes he was bold:

For to no man seyde he nay.
