This child Maurice was since then emperór Made by the Pope, and lived Christianly, To Christë’s Churchë did he great honór: But I let all his story passë by, Of Constance is my tale especially, In the oldë Roman gestës 1733 men may find Mauríce’s life, I bear it not in mind.

This King Alla, when he his timë sey, 1734 With his Constance, his holy wife so sweet, To England are they come the rightë way, Where they did live in joy and in quiét. But little while it lasted, I you hete, 1735 Joy of this world for time will not abide, From day to night it changeth as the tide.
