Aȝeyn the hethene for te fyhte,

To wynne the croiz that lowe lys;

Myself ycholde ȝef that y myhte.”

Kyng of Fraunce, thou hevedest sunne,

That thou the counsail woldest fonde,

To latte the wille of kyng Edward

To wende to the holy londe:

That oure kyng hede take on honde

Al Engelond to ȝeme ant wysse,

To wenden into the Holy Londe,
