There as was meat, drink and song, Then was sorrow and hunger strong.

Our king then in rich array, And royally in his estate As a conqueror there he sate, Within a house of Charity. To him the keys of that city Delivered unto him in fee. * * * * * There was neighing of many a steed, There was shewing of many a weed, There was many a jetton[7] gay, Much royalty and rich array.

St. George!" they cried on height, "Welcome to Rouen, our king's own right." [7] Jetton = a piece of metal or ivory bearing an inscription or device.
