Chapter 9 9

Then Ire came in with sturt and strife;

His hand was aye upon his knife,

He brandished like a beir:[120]

Boasters, braggars, and bargainers,[121]

After him passit in to pairs,

All bodin in feir of weir;[122]

In jacks, and scryppis, and bonnets of steel,

Their legs were chainit to the heel,[123]

Frawart was their affeir:[124]

Some upon other with brands beft,[125]

Some jaggit others to the heft,

With knives that sharp could shear.
