[Tale of Julius and the poor Knight.]
In Rome, to poursuie his riht,
Ther was a worthi povere kniht,
Hic secundum gesta Iulii exemplum ponit, qualiter Rex suorum militum, quos probos agnouerit, indigenciam largitatis sue beneficiis releuare[1102] tenetur.
Which cam al one forto sein
His cause, when the court was plein,
Wher Julius was in presence.
And for him lacketh of despence,
Ther was with him non advocat
To make ple for his astat.
