[Oropastes occupyeng the crowne of Perce bi iniust title was moordred.]
But fynali the tother pryncis fyue,
Whan that thei sauh ther tweyne feeris bleede,
In al the paleis thei leffte non alyue.
And kyng Orapastes, quakyng in his dreede,
Ful onwarli, or that he took heede,
Was slay[e]n ther, guerdoned for al his myht,—
Off pretens kynges which regne & ha[ue] no riht.
Whan that thei sauh ther tweyne feeris bleede,
In al the paleis thei leffte non alyue.
