IN the yere of Christe, a M accōpted right
Thre hundreth and syxe, and fyfty mo
The prince Edward, at Poytexs sore dyd fyght
The .xix. day of September, was tho
Where kyng Iohn of Fraunce, his sonne also
He toke and had the felde, with victorye
His eldst sonne then, fledde fro hym cowardly
¶ The kyng Dauyd died, and lette his hostage
For his raunsome lygge ay forth in Englande
The yere, a thousande .CCC. by knowlage
Eyght and fyftye, as I can vnderstande
And payde not yet, ne quyt not out his bonde
Ne his hostage, he wolde not so displease
To delyuer, ne putte theim fro their ease
¶ The quene Isabell, & the quene of Scotlande
Her doughter was, and kyng Dauyds wyfe
Sone after dyed, and buryed I vnderstande
At the graye Freres, in lande knewen full ryfe
The whiche yt quene Isabell founded in their lyfe
Full fayre entombed, & wrought full rychely
Where the two Quenes reste full honorably
