[How Quyntylyus was moordred by women.]

Next Gallien cam oon Quyntilius,
A man remembred of gret attemp[e]raunce,
Brother of berthe to gret[e] Claudius,
Wis & discreet in all his gouernaunce.
Who may of Fortune eschewe the [sodeyn] chaunce?—
To write his eende shortly in a clause,
Of women moordred; I cannat seyn the cause.
