Langaberde in Lombardy uplifted halls,
and far over the French flood Felx Brutus
on many a broad bank and brae Britain established

‪            where strange things, strife and sadness,

‪            and each other grief and gladness

‪            Bi syþez hatz wont þerinne,
‪            And oft boþe blysse and blunder
‪            Ful skete hatz skyfted synne.
