' CHAPTER XXIII How Isegrim proffered his glove to Reynard to figlit with him, which Reynard accepted, and Iwiv Rukenaw advised the Fox how to carry himself in the fight.
THE wolf answered the fox, ' I may well for- bear, false villain as thou art, thy mocks and scorns ; but thine injuries I will not. You say I was almost dead for hunger, when you helped me in my need : but thou liest falsely therein, for it was nothing but a bare bone thou gavest me, when thou hadst gnawed all the meat thereof...; and therefore know in this thou injurest my reputation. Again, thou accusest me of treason against the King, and to conspire his Majesty's death, for certain treasure thou sayest is in Hustreloe : also^hou hast abused and slandered my wife, which will ever be an infamy to her name if it be not revenged.

' These things considered, I have forborne you long, therefore now look not to escape ; wherefore seeing there is no other testi- mony but our own consciences, here before you, my Lord the King, and the rest of my noble lords, friends, and alliances, here I affirm and will approve to the last drop of my blood that thou, Reynard the fox, art a false traitor and a murderer ; and this I will approve and make good upon thy body within the lists of the field, body against body, by which means our strife shall have an end, and in witness whereof I cast thee here my glove, which I dare thee to take up, that I may have right for mine injuries, or else die like a recreant.
