Four hundreth xxx. ȝeris and sevin
Or Mary baire þe King of Hevin,
Till Tyngentynis were wonnyng quyt,
And throu the Romanis discomfyte.

That all the Romanis sodanely
Waknyt quhare thai slepand lay,
And all þe cete þus fand þai
With þare fais neire vptane,
To saufe the Capitole allane.
And that ȝit Brynnyus wonnyng had,
Had nocht the guss sic craking maid
That walknyt the wache sodanely,
And warnyt the Romanis hastely.
