clashing of swords�察�the ringing of bucklers�察�the clattering of helmets�察�the 

twanging of bow´strings�察�the whizzing of arrows�察�the screams of women�察�

the shouts of the warriors�察�and the vociferations of the peasantry�察�who had 

been   assembled   to   the   intended   nuptials�察  �and   who�察  �seeing   a   fair   set´to�察�

contrived      to  pick    a  quarrel    among      themselves      on   the  occasion�察    �and 

proceeded�察�with staff and cudgel�察�to crack each other's skulls for the good 

of the king and the earl。 One tall friar alone was untouched by the panic of 

his brethren�察�and stood steadfastly watching the combat with his arms a´ 

kembo�察�the colossal emblem of an unarmed neutrality。 

     At length�察�through the midst of the internal confusion�察�the earl�察�by the 

help of his good sword�察�the staunch valour of his men�察�and the blessing of 

the Virgin�察�fought his way to the chapel´gate his bowmen closed him in 

he vaulted into his saddle�察�clapped spurs to his horse�察�rallied his men on 

the   first   eminence�察  �and   exchanged   his   sword   for   a   bow   and   arrow�察  �with 

which   he   did   old   execution   among   the   pursuers�察  �who   at   last   thought   it 

most   expedient   to   desist   from   offensive   warfare�察  �and   to   retreat   into   the 

abbey�察�where�察�in the king's name�察�they broached a pipe of the best wine�察�

and attached all the venison in the larder�察�having first carefully unpacked 

the tuft of friars�察�and set the fallen abbot on his legs。 

     The   friars�察  �it   may   be   well   supposed�察  �and   such   of   the   king's   men   as 

escaped unhurt from the affray�察�found their spirits a cup too low�察�and kept 

the flask moving from noon till night。               The peaceful brethren�察�unused to 

the    tumult    of   war�察  �had    undergone�察     �from    fear   and   discomposure�察       �an 

exhaustion of animal spirits that required extraordinary refection。 During 

the    repast�察  �they   interrogated     Sir  Ralph     Montfaucon�察      �the  leader    of  the 

soldiers�察�respecting the nature of the earl's offence。 

     ;A complication of offences�察─�replied Sir Ralph�察 �superinduced on the 

original basis of forest´treason。 He began with hunting the king's deer�察�in 

despite   of   all   remonstrance�察  �followed   it   up   by   contempt   of   the   king's 

mandates�察      �and   by   armed     resistance     to  his  power�察    �in  defiance     of   all 

authority�察  �and   combined   with   it   the   resolute   withholding   of   payment   of 

certain moneys to the abbot of Doncaster�察�in denial of all law�察�and has thus 

made himself the declared enemy of church and state�察�and all for being too

fond of venison。; And the knight helped himself to half a pasty。 

     ;A  heinous   offender�察─  �said   a   little   round   oily   friar�察  �appropriating   the 

portion of pasty which Sir Ralph had left。 

     ;The earl is a worthy peer�察─�said the tall friar whom we have already 

mentioned in the chapel scene�察 �and the best marksman in England。; 

     ;Why this is flat treason�察�brother Michael�察─�said the little round friar�察�

;to call an attainted traitor a worthy peer。; 

     ;I pledge you�察─�said brother Michael。            The little friar smiled and filled 

his   cup。   ;He   will   draw   the   long   bow�察─  �pursued   brother   Michael�察   �with 

any bold yeoman among them all。; 

     ;Don't talk of the long bow�察─�said the abbot�察�who had the sound of the 

arrow still whizzing in his ear�此          �what have we pillars of the faith to do 

with the long bow�拭─�

     ;Be    that   as  it  may�察─  �said   Sir  Ralph�察    �he   is  an  outlaw    from    this 

moment。; 

     ;So   much   the   worse   for   the   law   then�察─  �said   brother   Michael。   ;The 

law will have a heavier miss of him than he will have of the law。 He will 

strike as much venison as ever�察�and more of other game。 I know what I say�此�

but basta�此    �Let us drink。; 

     ;What   other   game�拭─      �said   the  little   friar。 ;I   hope  he   won't   poach 

among our partridges。; 

     ;Poach� �not he�察─�said brother Michael�此              �if he wants your partridges�察�

he will strike them under your nose ��here's to you���察�and drag your trout´ 

stream for you on a Thursday evening。; 

     ;Monstrous� �and starve us on fast´day�察─�said the little friar。 

     ;But that is not the game I mean�察─�said brother Michael。 

     ;Surely�察�son Michael�察─�said the abbot�察 �you do not mean to insinuate 

that the noble earl will turn freebooter�拭─�

     ;A man must live�察─�said brother Michael�察 �earl or no。                If the law takes 

his rents   and beeves   without   his   consent�察�he  must   take   beeves   and   rents 

where   he   can   get   them   without   the   consent   of   the   law。   This   is   the   lex 

talionis。; 

     ;Truly�察─�said Sir Ralph�察 �I am sorry for the damsel�此�she seems fond of

over it�察�and in distribution around it to knights�察�and squires�察�and ghostly 

friars��these are female virtues�此�but valourwhy who ever heard�拭─�

     ;She is the all in all�察─�said brother Michael�察 �gentle as a ring´dove�察�yet 

high´soaring   as   a   falcon�此    �humble   below   her   deserving�察  �yet   deserving 

beyond the estimate of panegyric�此             �an exact economist in all superfluity�察�

one of her jars of sugared apricots give you your last surfeit at Arlingford 

Castle�拭─�

     ;Call   you   that   preserving�拭─  �said   the   little   friar�察   �I   call   it   destroying。 

Call    you    it  pickling�拭   �Truly     it  pickled   me。    My     life  was    saved    by 

miracle。;
