Stephanus Marcus 18

Stephanus Marcus Book 1 Canto 4 Verses 4 and 5 This blow dealt most hard broke Marcus's glaive and second strike that Cedric gave hurt knight. Ben Brooster laid Sir Marcus low with stave. The blow put knight upon the clay - bad sight! Then came to aid at Marcus's side full might of Morley's blade that skewered Brooster clean. Now Liege did pain and chase Black Knight to flight, but Sinefred bold renewed attack with spleen. With madding fury he did strike Lord Morley mean. And Sinefred rained down blows on Morley's shield. The strikes are double number those returned. The older knight now tires but won't yet yield, it's Marcus's time to be now quite concerned. Black Knight's hand wave to Sinefred now is spurned. The sword of Bleadershame wants Morley's life. In speeded action - ho - the battle churned. With mace Sir Marcus enters new the strife. For he wants Morley Liege again to see his wife.
