The tents and pavilions set up, and great joy have I
When I see oer the campana knights armed and horses arrayed.
And it pleaseth me when the scouts set in flight the folk with

And it pleaseth me when I see coming together after them an host of
armed men.”

To keep mens courage up, though the wake hangs
That shall cut off their sun.”
