And bryng ws till his bowir
And gyf tham lystyng that will heir
Of Eldaris that befor ws weir

And stythe in ilke stour.

The gre he vynnis with honour cleir
And euir in feilde the flowr

For the Erldome he hade in halde
Of deidis of armys he was balde
With na man sayis he nay

A fayrar lady of blude & bane
