1316   ffor many of hem that daunced there
1317   Were with hir loves went Awey
1318   Undir the trees to have her pley.
1319   A, lord! they lyved lustyly!
1320   A gret fool were he, sikirly,

1335   And he ful soone sette an ende,
1336   And at a braid he gan it bende,
1337   And toke hym of his arowes fyve,
1338   ffull sharp and redy forto dryve.
