Co[n]quered al fraunce & Almayne,
Lombardye Rome & ytalye—
By ȝoure bokis ȝe may a-spye. 268
Y am þeir Eyr & þeyre lynage,
Y aske ȝow my trywage."
Þis lettre was celyd fast,
Y-take the Messagerez on hast; 272
Arthour ȝaf ham ȝyftez grete,
And chered ham wyþ drynk and Mete.
Þey hasted ham to come hoom; Lucius's messengers return to him.
