Dyd I not cause the noble Iulius

Emperour of rome for to be electe

By cause he was so stronge and cheualrus

Whan in armes he knewe the affecte

He all his ennemyes dyd abiecte

And by the support of my chyef socour

He gouerned hymselfe lyke a noble emperour

 And also Arthur kynge of Bretayne

With all the knyghtes of the rounde table

Neuer auentures had sought certayne

And I therto had not ben greable

They for to fyght had not ben able

Who that me lacketh is but a coward

And shame is euer his rewarde

 Also kynge Charlemayne kynge of Fraunce

With his dyssypers Rowland and Olyuer

With all the resydue of his alyaunce

That in all armes so noble were

On goddys ennemyes brake many a spere

Causynge them to flee to theyr grete vylony
