Howe Pansonoy duke of Lacedemoyne was exiled by theym of athenys

tHis was his ende and after this bochas
Gan in hast his style auaunce
Of pansonoys to tell the pitous cas
And all the maner of his wofull chaunce
Which was a duke and had in gouernaunce
Lacedomoyne there foundinge a cyte
Whice of olde tyme was called bisaunte

They of athenys that cite gate with might
And it 〈◊〉〈◊〉 by their chyualrye
And af••••rwarde whether it were wronge or right
They exiled the same pansanye
And thus fortune through hir fals enuye
Caused that duke withoute more delayes
In sorowe and pouerte for to ende his dayes
