God hath this day sent in governaunce.

God of nature hath yoven him suffisaunce

Likly to atteyne to grete honure and pris.

Rejoice ye reames of England and of Fraunce!

A braunche hath sprung oute of the floure de lys.

O hevenly blossome, o budde of all plesaunce,

God graunt the grace for to ben als wise

As was thi fader, by circumspect advise,

Stable in vertue withoute variaunce.
