The Rowley Poems Thomas Chatterton
knitandpurl commented on the word faytour
Lewis had the long curved parcel. When he had ripped the paper off one end, he saw the tarnished brass hilt of a sword. "Oh boy!" he said. "A real sword!" He ripped the rest of the paper off and started swinging the sword around. Fortunately, it was still in its sheath.
"Have at thee for a foul faytour!" he shouted, lunging at Rose Rita with the sword.
