CHAPTER LXIX.
How the Romanis with seire nationis facht
And vincust þaim for all thare maucht.
And vincust þaim for all thare maucht.
A hundreth winter and ellevin
Or Mary bare þe King of Hevin,
The Romanis with thare consules
In weire and batall movit wes
Aganis sindry regionis,
As Duche and Franche nationis,
That set haly thare entent,
Bunding togidder be ane assent,
The Romanis for till haue vndone;
And thare apone thai assemblit sone
In fecht, quhare þat þe citeȝenis,
Withoutin vther out Romanis,
Foure score of thousand were slane doune,
Besyde thai without the tovne,
Fourty thousand reknyt haill,
Off Romanis slane were in batall;
Sex skore of thousandis in that fycht
Slane were and to dede wes dycht.
That fechting wes of sic fellony
That bot ten men alanerly
Off the Romanis fra þat place
Eschapit for to tell þe cace.
Than þai of Rome gret murnyng maid
And houering in gret [dowt] thai baid,
For thai dred saire at þat menȝe
Suld wyne and tak vp thare cete.
The Duchemen and thai of Symbry,
To gidder knyt in cumpany,
In Ytaly as thai abaid,
Lang soiorne thinkand till haif maid
Thame to refresche in winter tyde,
And frostis fell for till abyde.
The Romanis with thare consules,
Or thai to fecht arrayit wes,
Brak apon þame sodanely,
And slew þame dispitiously;
Bot thai of Rome for that dispite
Wes nocht ȝit all of scaith quyte,
For of þame mony were slane thare;
Thare vengeance ȝit reknyt ware
A hundreth and vi. thousand deid,
And presoneris tane in þat steid
Wer reknyt sevinty thousand gud,
Withoutin a gret multitud
Off wemen wedand in wodnes,
And for dule falling in hevynes;
Sa thai thare put þaim self to deid
And slew thare childer but remeid.
