Thou hast so conducted thyself as to lose all thy people’s hearts.
And ſo thow hath the rewlyt, that almoſt
[1520] Of al thi puple the hartis ben ylost;
And tynt richt throw thyne awn myſgouernans
Of auerice and of thyne errogans.
What is a prince without honour?
What is o prince? quhat is o gouernoure
[1524] Withouten fame of worſchip and honour?
What is his mycht, ſuppos he be A lorde,
If that his folk ſal nocht to hyme accorde?
