Foin

And there kyng Arthur smote syr mordred vnder the shelde wyth a foyne of his spere throughoute the body more than a fadom. "And there King Arthur smote Sir Mordred under the shield, with a foin of his spear, throughout the body, more than a fathom."

They move their hands, steadfast their feet remain, / Nor blow nor foin they struck or thrust in vain.

And then he flue on hir as he were wood, / And on hir breeche did hack and foyne a-good.

They lash, they foin, they pass, they strive to bore / Their corselets, and the thinnest parts explore.

These Fastulfrs and Falsts could drink as well as they could foin or fight, and this has also been the case with me.

He stroke, he soust, he foynd, he hewd, he lasht,

He came to the stake in a fair black gown furred and faced with foins.
