But for the kynrede of Davyd thou sende;
Lete hem come with here offryng,
And in here handys white ȝerdys brynge,
Loke whose ȝerde doth ffloure and sprynge,
And he xal wedde that mayden hende.”
Primus vexillator.
In the x.ᵗᵉ pagent, sothe to say,
A masangere fforthe is sent;
Davydis kynrede without delay
They come fful sone with good entent.
