Rex irascatur versus Androcheum nepotem suum.
When þe kyng herde his answere,He swor he scholde on hym were;
& þat he had, he scholde hym reue,
Heritage ne nought, hym byleue;
& Huwelyn schold he slo,
ffor þat outrage þat [he] had do.
On þis manere parted þer feste;
Wiþ loue bygan, endede wiþ cheste.
Cassibolan was Androcheus eem,
Luddes broþer of þat teem.
Androcheus was Luddesone, & Temnace,
As y forn telde in oþer place.
Whan Lud deyde, þey ne couþe
Kepe þe lond for þer ȝouþe;
Cassibolan þerfore vndertok
Þe lond, & hem to kepe & lok;
& þorow þe wroþe of þis þynge
Made Androche a chalangyng.
Now ilka day Cassibolan fandes
To brenne & struye Androcheus landes.
