Was fallun in the filde	E
As the bore had mente	E
He gave the King such a dinte	E
Or he myghte his bridull hente	E

There downe knelys hee	E
That loves hur that is free	E
Sayd 'This socur thou hase send me	E
For thi Sune sake '	-
If he were in a dale depe	L

Forwerr slidus he on slepe	L
No lengur myghte he wake	E

The King hase fillut his avowe	E
Of Kay carpe we nowe	E
How that he come for his prowe	E
Ye schall here more	E
Als he rode in the nyghte	E
In the forest he mette a knyghte	E
Ledand a birde bryghte	E
Ho wepputte wundur sore	E
Ho sayd 'Sayn Mar myghte me spede	E
And save me my madunhede	E
And giffe the knyghte for his dede	E
Bothe soro and care '	-

Thus ho talkes him tille	E
Quille ho hade sayd all hur wille	E
And Kay held him full stille	E
And in the holte hoves	E
