I was ashamed to ask the king for infantry, cavalry, and an escort for safety from our enemies,
For I was ashamed to ask the king for foot-soldiers and cavalry and an escort to keep us safe from our adversaries;
For I was ashamed to ask the king for infantry and cavalry and an escort to keep us safe from our adversaries,
For I was ashamed to ask the king for foot soldiers and horsemen and an escort to keep us safe from our adversaries;
Forsooth I shamed to ask of the king (for) footmen and horsemen, in fellowship of grace, of keeping against our adversaries.
