Which shortly did ensue, yet died my father furst,
And both the[1156] realmes were mine, ere I a yeare were nurst:
Which as they fell too soone, so faded they as fast:
For Charles, and Edward, got them both or forty yeares were past.

This Charles was eldest sonne of Charles my father in lawe,
To whome as heire of Fraunce, the Frenchmen did them draw,
But Edward was the heire of Richard duke of Yorke,
The heyre of Roger Mortimer, slaine by the kerne of Korke.
