The .xxxi. chapter tretyth of the kyngdome of Castyle, & of Byscay, and of the natural disposicion of the people, and of there money & of theyr speche.
In the kyngdome of Castell borne I was,And though I be poer, on it I do not passe;
200
My cloke I wyl haue, and my skayne by my syde.
And I was borne in the prouince of Byscay;
My countrey is poer; who can say nay?
And though we haue no pastor nor grandge,
Yet our olde fashyon we do not chaunge.
