Upon mi bare knees I preye,

That he my worthi king conveye,

Richard by name the Secounde,[1824]

In whom hath evere yit be founde[1825]

Justice medled with pite,

Largesce forth with charite.2990*

In his persone it mai be schewed

What is a king to be wel thewed,

Touchinge of pite namely:

[The King commended.]
