       Ah; traytors, yee have slayne our kyng,

       And therefore yee shall dye.

      Kyng Estmere threwe the harpe asyde,

       And swith he drew his brand;

       And Estmere he, and Adler yonge

       Right stiffe in slodr can stand.

      And aye their swordes soe sore can byte,

       Throughe help of Gramaryè,

       That soone they have slayne the kempery men,

       Or forst them forth to flee.

      Kyng Estmere took that fayre ladye,

       And marryed her to his wiffe,

       And brought her home to merry England

       With her to leade his life.
