Wel may men seen it is but goddis grace  
 Who yaf Iudith corage or hardinesse  
 To sle Olofernes in his tent  
 And to deliueren out of wrecchidnesse  
 The pepyl of god I say to this entent  
That right as god spirit and vigour sent  
 To hem and saued out of myschaunce  
 He sente strengthe & vigour vnto Custance  
 Forth goth her ship thorow out þe naroue mouth  
 Of Iubalter and septe driuyng ay  
Som tyme west and som tyme north & south  
 And somtyme est ful meny a wery way  
 Til cristis moder y blissid be she ay  
 Hath shapen thorow her endlees goodnesse  
 To make an ende of al her heuynesse  
Now lete vs stynte of Custance but a throw  
 And speke of Romayns the Emperour  
 That out of Rome hath be lettris knowe  
 The slaughter of cristen folk and dishonour  
 Doon vnto his doughter be a fals traytour  
I mene the cursid and wickyd sowdonnesse  
 That at the feste leet sle bothe more and lesse  
 For whiche this Emperour hath sent anon  
 His senatour with ryal ordenaunce  
 And othir lordis god woot meny on  
On surryens to take high vengeaunce  
 They brenne & sle & brynge hem to myschaunce  
 Ful meny a day but shortly this is the ende  
 Homward to Rome they shapen hem to wende
