Abstract

Then bade he each youth his horse to forsake, To hasten afar and forwards to go, Be mindful of might, of mood courageous. This Offa’s kinsman at once perceived That the earl was unwilling faint heart to endure. Then he let from his hands his lief hawk fly, His hawk to the holt, and to battle he stepped; By that might one know that the knight was unwilling To be weak in the war when to weapons he took.
