Clothed in sable, crowned with gold,

All his wars and councils ended,

Philip lay, surnamed The Bold:

Passing-bell his quittance tolled,

And the chant of priests ascended.

Mailéd knights and archers stand,

Thronging in the church of Arras;

Nevermore at his command

Shall they scour the Netherland,

Nevermore the outlaws harass;
