29. ROUNDEL FOR THE CORONATION OF HENRY VI.
Here endith þe genologie of Kyng Henry þe Sext,
and folowith a roundell of him ayens his coronacioun, made by Lydegate daun Iohn.
(1)
Reioice, ye reames of Englond & of Fraunce,A braunche þat sprang oute of the floure-de-lys,
Blode of Seint Edward and Seint Lowys,
God hath this day sent in gouernaunce.
(2)
God of nature hath yoven him suffisaunce,Likly to atteyne to grete honure and pris.
(3)
O hevenly blossome, o budde of all plesaunce,God graunt the grace for to ben als wise
As was thi fader by circumspect advise,
Stable in vertue, withoute variaunce.
Explicit.
