Golagrus and Gawain with John Lydgate: Rhyme without Accord (Page 4 of 46)
Thow sall rew inthi ruse wit thow but wene
Or thow wend of this wane wemeles away
Schir kay wes haisty and hate and of ane hie will
Spedely to hym spak
Schort amendis will I mak Traist wele thair ti
ll
Thi schore compt I noghtane caik
Thair vith the grume in his grief leit gird to schir kay
fellit the freke with his fist flat in the flure
he wes sa astonayt with the straik in stede quhare he lay
Stok still as ane stane the sterne wes sa sture
The freik na forthir he faris bot foundis away
the toyir drew hym on dreigh in derne to the dure
Hyit hym hard throu the hall to his haiknay
And sped hym on spedely on the spare mure
The renk restles he raid to arthour the king
Said lord wendis on your way
yone berne nykis yow with nay It helpis na thing.
To prise hym forthir to pray
Than spak schir gawane the gay gratious and gude.
Schir ye knaw that schir kay is crabbit of kynde
I rede the mak furth ane man mekar of mude
That will with fairnes fraist frendschip to fynd
your folk ar febill and faynt for falt of thair fude
Sum better boid word to abide vndir wod lynd
Schir gawyne graith ye that gait for the gude rude
Is nane sa bowsum ane berne bricht for to bynd
The heynd knight at his haist helde to the tovne
The yettis wappit war wyde
The knyght can raithly in ryde Quhen he ves lightitdoune
Reynit his palfray of pryde
