Quant j'arra soz Parris mené tout me naviaus, Je ferra le moustier Saint Dinis la Chanciaus Corronier d'Adouart soz sa blonde chaviaus. La voudra vous toer de vaches à porciaus.
Je crai que vous verra là endret grosse fest, Quant d'Adouart arra corroné France test. Il l'a bien asservi, ma fil; il n'est pas best; Il fout buen chivaler, hardouin, et honest."
"Sir rai," ce dit Rogier, "por Dieu à mai entent; Tu m'as percé la cul, tel la pitié m'a prent. Or doint Godelamit, par son culmandement, (Que tu fais cestui chos bien gloriousement!"
Explicit la pais aus Englois.
The decisive battle of Lewes, in 1264, was the subject of great exultation amongst the adherents of Simon de Montfort. The following song, in English, is directed against the king's brother, Richard Earl of Cornwall, who had become very unpopular by his foreign schemes of ambition. He took shelter at a wind- mill, after he saw the king's party defeated.

"When I have led all my ships to Paris,--I will cause the Chancellor in the monastery of St. Denis--to crown Edward on his flaxen hair.--There I will kill for you cows and pigs.
"I believe that you will see there a great feast,--when France shall have crowned Edward's head. He has well deserved it, my son; he is no fool;--he is a good knight, brave, and courteous."
"Sir King," said Roger, "for God's sake, listen to me;--thou hast pierced me behind, so much has pity overcome me;--Now may God Almighty ordain, by his commandment,--that thou perform this thing very gloriously!"
