The shields that hang about their necks are not worth two coats of bark: the leather tears, and they split the wood, and they shatter the meshes of the hauberks. Both are pierced to the vitals by the lances, and the horses fall to earth. Now, both the warriors were doughty. THE SHIELDS THAT HANG ABOUT THEIR NECKS ARE NOT WORTH TWO COATS OF BARK THE LEATHER TEARS AND THEY SPLIT THE WOOD AND THEY SHATTER THE MESHES OF THE HARBOUR BOTH ARE PIERCED TO THE VITALS BY THE LANCES AND THE HORSES FALL TO EARTH NOW BOTH THE WARRIORS WERE DOUGHTY

He rides toward the knight, who challenges him to battle, and they meet at the foot of the hill, where they attack and defy each other. Both smite each other with their iron-tipped lances with all their strength.  ME IN THIS WILD PLACE ALONE WRETCHED AND FORLORN THEN I SHALL BE WORSE OFF THAN NOW WORSE WHY CARE I MAY GRIEF AND SORROW ALWAYS BE MINE AS LONG AS I LIVE IF MY LORD DOES NOT PROMPTLY ESCAPE FROM HERE WITHOUT BEING DELIVERED TO A VIOLENT DEATH BUT IF I DO NOT QUICKLY INFORM HIM THIS KNIGHT WHO IS SPURRING HITHER WILL HAVE KILLED HIM BEFORE HE IS AWARE FOR HE SEEMS A VERY EVIL INTENT I THINK I HAVE WAITED TOO LONG FROM FEAR OF HIS VIGOROUS PROHIBITION BUT I WILL NO LONGER HESITATE BECAUSE OF HIS RESTRAINT I SEE PLAINLY THAT MY LORD IS SO DEEP IN THOUGHT THAT HE FORGETS HIMSELF SO IT IS RIGHT THAT I SHOULD ADDRESS HIM SHE SPOKE TO HIM HE THREATENS HER BUT HAS NO DESIRE TO DO HER HARM FOR HE REALIZES AND KNOWS FULL WELL THAT SHE LOVES HIM ABOVE ALL ELSE AND HE LOVES HER TOO TO THE UTMOST HE RIDES TOWARD THE KNIGHT WHO CHALLENGES TO BATTLE AND THEY MEET AT THE FOOT OF THE HILL WHERE THEY ATTACK AND DEFY EACH OTHER BOTH SMITE EACH OTHER WITH THEIR IRON TIPPED LANCES WITH ALL THEIR STRENGTH
