For people many a score

For him that yel and rore,

Alas that we were bore

To se this dolorous day!

With asshy hue compleyne also, I cry,

Ladyes, damosels, mynyonat and gorgayse;

Knyghtes aunterus of the myghty monarchy,

Complayne also; for he that in his dayes

To enhaunce wonte was your honoure, youre prayse,

Now is he gone, of erthly blysse ryfyld;
