Shulde at som tyme cesse and wexe softe.

O king! fulfilled of grace and of knighthode,
Remembre upon this poynt, for Cristes sake;
If pees be profred unto thy manhode,
Thyn honour sauf, let it nat be forsake!
Though thou the werres darst wel undertake,
160
After resoun yet temper thy corage;
For lyk to pees ther is non avauntage.
