| | For whiche the pepyl ran to se that sight | |
| | Of here aray mightily they were beseye | |

| | That Waltir was no fool though that hym list | |
| | To chaunge his wyf for it was for the best | |

| | And more plesaunce for her high lynage | |
| | Her brothir eke so fair of visage | |
| | That hem to se the pepyl hath caught plesaunce | |
| | Comendynge now the Markis gouernaunce | |
