[353] Madden, _ut supra_, vol. ii. p. 476. The original text (printed in short lines by Madden and here in long ones) runs thus: Tha loh Arthur | the althele king, And thus yeddien agon | mid gommenfulle worden: Lien nu there Colgrim | thu were iclumben haghe Thu clumbe a thissen hulle | wunder ane haeghe, Swulc thu woldest to haevene | nu thu scalt to haelle; Ther thu miht kenne | muche of thine cunne, And gret thu ther Hengest | the cnihten wes fayerest, Ebissa and Ossa | Octa and of thine cunne ma, And bide heom ther wunie | wintres and sumeres, And we scullen on londe | libben in blisse.

A large number of English mediaeval romances will be found among the publications of the Early English Text Society (including among others: Ferumbras, Otuel, Huon of Burdeux, Charles the Grete, Four Sons of Aymon, Sir Bevis of Hamton, King Horn, Havelok the Dane, Guy of Warwick, William of Palerne, Generides, Morte Arthure, Lonelich's History of the Holy Grail, Joseph of Arimathie, Sir Gawaine and the Green Knight, &c.), the Camden and the Percy Societies, the Roxburghe and the Bannatyne Clubs. Some also have been published by Koelbing in his "Altenglische Bibliothek," Heilbronn; by H. W. Weber: "Metrical Romances of the XIIIth, XIVth and XVth centuries," Edinburgh, 1810, 3 vols. 8vo. &c. See also H. L. D. Ward, "Catalogue of MS. Romances in the British Museum," 1883 ff. [360] "King Horn, with Fragments of Floriz and Blauncheflur, and of the Assumption of Our Lady," ed. Rawson Lumby, E.E.T.S., 1886, 8vo. "Horn" is printed from a Cambridge MS. of the thirteenth century. A French metrical version of this story, written by "Thomas" about 1170, was edited by R. Brede and E. Stengel: "Das Anglonormannische Lied vom wackern Ritter Horn," Marbourg, 1883, 8vo: "Hic est de Horn bono milite." Concerning "Horn," see Ward, "Catalogue of Romances," i. p. 447; "Anglia," iv. p. 342; "Romania," xv. p. 575 (an article by W. Soderhjelm, showing that the Thomas of "Tristan" and the Thomas of "Horn" are not the same man).
