Haue I not caused many a noble warreour

To wynne the batell by my grete myght

Without me was made neuer conquerour

Nor yet man coragious whan he dyd fyght

No man without me may defende his ryght

I may be worst from hym forborne

For and I were not he were forlorne

 Dyd I not cause the noble hercules

By my power to wynne the vyctory

Of the sturdy and stronge Philotes

As is recorded in bokes of memory

For without me can be no cheualry

And vnder the wynge of my proteccyon

All rebels brought be to subieccyon

 A realme is vpholden by thynges thre

The fyrst and the chyef it is the swerd

Whiche causeth it to be in good suerte

And other realmes of it to be aferd

By whiche the vsurpers be dyfferd

From theyr wyll with treason knyte
