At brankiston feld wher the kyng of scottys was slayne He then beyng of the age of thre score and tene With gode duke of northefolke yt iorney he hays tayn And coragely avauncid hymself emong other ther & then. The king beyng in france with grete nombre of ynglesh men He nothyng hedyng his age ther but jeoperde hym as one With his sonnes brother saruants and kynnismen But now as ye se he lyeth under this stone. But now all thes tryumphes ar passed & set on syde For all worldly joyes they wull not long endure They are soune passed and away dothe glyde And who that puttith his trust in them I call hym most unsure For when deth strikith he sparith no creature Now geuith no warnyng but takith them by one & one And now he abydyth gois mercy & hath no other socure For as ye se hym here he lieth under this stone. I pray yow my kynsmen louers and frendis all To pray to oure lorde Jhesu to have marcy of my sowll. |  |
