Ramund thought he should a better man be / If better apparel arrayed him; / Of garments of leather, and hemp patch'd together, / The Queen then a present made him. / "These I will not wear," bold Ramund he said, / "They beseem me not fair," said Ramund the young.
"Your garments of tow and leather bestow / On the cleaners of trencher and platter." / The Lady to give him fresh clothes was not slow, / And of sammet and silk were the latter. / "Yes, these will I wear," bold Ramund he said, / "They beseem me right fair," said Ramund the young.
