And to the mare that foled thee!

For thou hast strucken the Lord of Learne

A litle aboue mine eye.

76

First night I was borne, a lord I was,

An earle after my father doth dye;

My father is the good Lord of Learne,

And child he hath noe other but mee;

My father sent me over [the sea] with the false steward,

And thus that he hath beguiled mee.
