Lost Poems Before 1528.
[I haue, at lenth, the storeis done discryue]
I haue, at lenth, the storeis done discryue
Off Hectour, Arthour, and gentyll Iulyus,
Off Alexander, and worthy Pompeyus,
Off Iasone, and Media, all at lenth,
Off Hercules the actis honorabyll,
And of Sampsone the supernaturall strenth,
And of leill Luffaris storeis amiabyll;
And oft tymes haue I feinȝeit mony fabyll,
Off Troylus the sorrow and the Ioye,
And Seigis all, of Tyir, Thebes, and Troye;
The Prophiseis of Rymour, Beid, & Marlyng,
And of mony vther pleasand storye,
Off the reid Etin, and the gyir carlyng. . . .
