Mi worthi prince, of whom I write,
Thus slant he with himselve clier,[1834]
And doth what lith in his power[1835]
Not only hier at hom to seke[1836]
Love and acord, but outward eke,[1837]
As he that save his poeple wolde.
So ben we alle wel beholde[1838]3020*
To do service and obeyssaunce
To him, which of his heyh suffraunce[1839]
Hath many a gret debat appesed,[1840]
