Whan I had perceyued euery maner thynge

Of this ryall myrour / accordynge to effecte

Remembrynge the verses / of the olde saynge

Whiche in my mynde I dyde well coniecte

Than to the swerde / I thought to haue respecte

Ryght so I went / than at all auenture

Vnto the hande / that helde the swerde so sure

 I felte the hande / of the stell so fyne

Me thought it quaked / the fyngers gan to stretche

I thought by that / I came than of the lyne

Of the grete lady / that fyrst the swerde dyde fetche

The swerdes pomell / I began to ketche

The hande swerued / but yet neuer the lesse

I helde them bothe / by excellent prowes

B.vi.

 And at the last / I felte the hande departe

An

The swerde I toke / with all my besynesse

So I subdued / all the magykes arte

And founde the scauberde / of meruaylous rychesse
