XVII. ADORATION OF THE MAGI.
Herode. As a lord in ryalté in non regyon so ryche,
And rulere of alle remys, I ryde in ryal aray;
Ther is no lord of lond in lordchep to me lyche,
Non lofflyere, non lofsumere,—evyr lestyng is my lay:
Of bewté and of boldnes I bere evermore the belle;
Of mayn and of myght I master every man;
I dynge with my dowtynes the devyl down to helle,
