Sir Gawayne and the Grene Knyght

The bor3 brittened and brent to brondeygh and aske3,
The tulk that the trammes of tresoun ther wro3t
Wat3 tried for his tricherie, the trewest on erthe:
Hit wat3 Ennias the athel, and his highe kynde,
That sithen depreced prouinces, and patrounes bicome
Welne3e of al the wele in the west iles.
Fro riche Romulus to Rome ricchis hym swythe,
With gret bobbaunce that bur3e he biges vpon fyrst,
And neuenes hit his aune nome, as hit now hat;
Tirius to Tuskan and teldes bigynnes,
Langaberde in Lumbardie lyftes vp homes,
And fer ouer the French flod Felix Brutus
On mony bonkkes ful brode Bretayn he sette3
wyth wynne,
Where werre and wrake and wonder
Bi sythe3 hatz wont therinne,
And oft bothe blysse and blunder
Ful skete hat3 skyfted synne.
Ande quen this Bretayn wat3 bigged bi this burn rych,
Bolde bredden therinne, baret that lofden,
In mony turned tyme tene that wro3ten.
Mo ferlyes on this folde han fallen here oft
Then in any other that I wot, syn that ilk tyme.
Bot of alle that here bult, of Bretaygne kynges,
Ay wat3 Arthur the hendest, as I haf herde telle.

Forthi an aunter in erde I attle to schawe,
That a selly in si3t summe men hit holden,
And an outtrage awenture of Arthure3 wonderez.
If 3e wyl lysten this laye bot on littel quile,
I schal telle hit as-tit, as I in toun herde,
with tonge,
As hit is stad and stoken
In stori stif and stronge,
With lel letteres loken,
In londe so hat3 ben longe.
This kyng lay at Camylot vpon Krystmasse
With mony luflych lorde, lede3 of the best,
Rekenly of the Rounde Table alle tho rich brether,
With rych reuel ory3t and rechles merthes.
Ther tournayed tulkes by tyme3 ful mony,
Justed ful jolile thise gentyle kni3tes,
Sythen kayred to the court caroles to make.
