Hushai said moreover, Thou knowest thy father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field; and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.
And eft Chusi seide, Þou knowist, þat thi fadir, and þe men þat ben with him, ben moost stronge, and in bitter soule, as if a femal bere is fers in þe forest, whanne þe whelpis ben rauyschid; but also thi fader is a man werriour, and he schal not dwelle with þe puple.
