Howe Theo kinge of egipt by artaxerses was dry¦uen from his kingdome and fled into Arabye
NExte Enagora cam the kinge Theo
Of all Egipt longe tyme possessoure
And to Iohn bochas he gan declare his woo
Howe fortune dyd hir frowarde laboure
And from him drough hir frendship and fauour
And sodenly through hir iniquite
She kest this kynge doun from his roiall see
She list hir malice from him nat differre
Ne wold nat suffre him for to lyue in pees
But caused him for to gynne a frowarde werre
Ageyne the sayde mighty Artaxerses
Wenynge therby to haue had g••••ate en••••••
Gadred shippes and made a greate arm••
In his entent to haue ••et him on the se
To lacedomonois he was fauourable
Sent theym vessels stuffed with vitayle
Dempte of pride that him silf was able
With artaxerses to holde a batayle
But hasty trust doth folys often fayle
For this theo was after anone right
Dryuen oute of egipt and Iput to flight
Artaxerses pursued him so sore
Tofore his face he durst nat appere
Fled into Arabye myn auctour seyth nomore
Banysshed from egipt dedly of face and chere
And of his fate who so list to lere
He was depryued from kingly dignite
And by fortune cast from his royall see
