Caxton 1, folio304v image
 WAs neuyr Capteyn vnder a kyng  
 That regnes mo put in subiection  
 Ne strenger was in feld of alle thing  
 As in his tyme ne gretter of renoun  
 Ne more Pompous in high presumpcion  
Than Olophern whiche fortune atte laste  
 So licorously ladde hym vp and doun  
 Til that he ded was or that he wiste  
 Not only that this worlde hadde of hym awe  
 For lesing of riches and liberte  
But he made euery man reneye his lawe  
 Nabugodonosor was lord saide he  
 None other god sholde honoured be  
 Ayens his heste ther dar no wight trespas  
 Sane in Betulia a strong cyte  
Where Eliachim was prest of that place  
 But take kepe of the deth of Olophern  
 Amyd his ost he dronke lay al nyght  
 With ynne his tente large as is a bern  
 And yet for al his pompe and al his myght  
Iudith a womman as he lay vpright  
 Slepinge his hed of smoot & fro his tente  
 Ful pryuely she stale from euery wight  
 And to the cyte she hath it sente  
 WHat nedith it of kyng Antiochus  
To telle his high and ryal maieste  
 His high pryde his werk venemus  
 For such another man nas neuyr as he  
 Redith what that he was in Machabe
