Sir Torrent ordenyth hym a sheld,

It was ryche in euery ffeld, 1120

Listonyth, what he bare:

an azure shield with a gold squire on it;

On aȝure a squier off gold,

Richely bett on mold;

Listonyth, what he ware:

and a grinning dragon of gold on the crest of his helmet.

A dragon⁾ lying hym be-syde, 1125

His mouth grennyng full̴ wyde,

All̴ ffyghtyng as they were;

The creste, that on his hede shold stond,

Hit was all̴ gold shynand,

Thus previd he hym⁾ there. 1130
