I gladly come to put away such shame.

My royall birth Plantagenet can show,
Stout Cœur de Lion’s life declares the same,
Who was the second sonne as thou dost know,
Vnto king Henrie second of that name,
Who grew so great in wealth, in strength and fame,
His yongest sonne I was, by name hight Iohn,
Next after Richard seated on the throne.
