Howe Philyp the empeorour dyed at myscheef.
NExt to bochas cam philip on the ringe
Whos empyre no while dyd endure
Lyke an heretyke cursyd of lyuynge
And odious to euery creature
Bete doun ymages and many fressh pycture
Of holy saintes which in their temples stode
Wherby romayns dempt that he was wode
Pursued he was by a manly knight
Called Anastayse and put out of his place
And in cecyle of very force and might
He dyd his iyen out of his hede arace
By iugement his visage to difface
Semblably as he by great outrages
Of cristys feith diffaced the Images
Dyed at mischeef dyrkyd with blyndnesse
Than Anastayse toke possession
In whoos tyme bokes bere witnesse
And cronycles also make mencion
Of the empyre was made dyuysion
That first was one / partyd into tweyne
Wherof myn auctoure in maner doth compleyne
