[Kynge henry is dede/bewtye of the worlde/for whom great dole]

Kynge henry is dede/bewtye of the worlde/for whom great dole
Goddys nowe makyn/for theyr kynde brother/for he is sole.
Marcurius in speche/Marce in Batell harte stronge appollo
Iupiter in hest/egall with Saturne/and enemye to Cupydo.
Kynge he was of ryght/& man of moost myght/& gloryous in raynynge
And whan he lefte his Crowne/than fell honour downe/for mysse of such a kynge
Normandy than gan lowre/for losse of theyr floure/and sange well a waye
Englonde made mone/and Scotlonde dyd grone/for to se that daye.
