   OU'R THWART THE PLEYNE

   A rerd, a rowste, a ron by hym soleyne

   To leden thwart there wong, there Laghelond,

   Ful murth and fele maner maysterye.
   Ten yeres prollyd they ou'r thwart the pleyne
   Carolyng rons nou samen, nan soleyne.
   There tonges and telynges owyng rounes vaste
   And tresores to whilk hy holden stedfast' faste.
   Grand mercy, thos, to sownes y-caryed fer
   Y-hyer'd by opyn ers and holdyn cher!
