That of here large retenue
The lond is ful of maintenue,
Which causith that the comune right[1788]
In fewe contrees stant upright.

Withholde ben of that covyne,
Aldai men hierin gret compleignte
Of the desease, of the constreignte,
Wher of the poeple is sore oppressid:
God graunte it mote be redressid. 3020
