Rh Or when shall falſehood go from home?

And laughty blow his horn on hie?

I looked from me not a mile,

And ſaw two knights upon a lee,

They were armed ſeemingly new,

Two croſſes on their breaſts they bare,

And they were clad in diverſe hue,

Of ſundry countries as they were;

The one was red as blood,

Set in a ſhield a dragon keen.

He ſtird his ſteed as he were mad,

With crabbed words ſharp and keen,

Right to the other bairn him by;

His horſe was all of ſilver ſheen!

In it a ramping lion keen,

Seemingly into gold was ſet;

His border of was azure ſheen,

His ſhield was ſhaped right ſeemly,

With ſilk and fable well was plet.

I looked from over a green,

And ſaw a lady on a lee,

That ſuch a one I had never ſeen,

The light of her ſhined ſo high.

Attour the moor whereat ſhe foor,

The fields me thought fair and gree;

She rode upon a ſteed full ſtoor,

That ſuch a one had I ſeldom ſeen;

Her ſteed was white as any milk,

His top, his tail, were both full blue,

A ſad ſaddle ſhowed with ſilk,

As all were gold it glittered ſae:

His harneſing was of ſilk of India,

Set with precious ſtones frae:

He ambled on a noble kind,

Upon her head ſtood crowns three,

Her garments was of gowans gay,

But other colour ſaw none.

A flying fowl then I ſaw,

Light beſide her on a ſtone;

A ſtoop into her hand ſhe bare,

And holy water ſhe had ready,

She ſprinkled the field both here and there,

Said here ſhall many dead corps lie;

At yon bridge upon yon burn,
