NExt cam zambrias a prince vengeable
Which slough kinge helam by fals treason
That was founde also full vnstable
For this zambrias of entencion
Hath murdryd him within the cheef dongeon
Of his castell with a full greate route
As he vnwarly laide a siege aboute
But a maryn a prince of full greate might
Cam into Tharse a famous grete cite
And cast him plenly lyke a worthy knight
On this zambrias auengyd for to be
Him to destroye without mercy or pite
But in a toure as zambrias went
Set it a fire and so him self brent
