ELINOURE AND JUGA.

    Onne Ruddeborne[1] bank twa pynynge Maydens fate,
    Theire teares faste dryppeynge to the waterre cleere;
    Echone bementynge[2] for her absente mate,
    Who atte Seyncte Albonns shouke the morthynge[3] speare. 
    The nottebrowne Elinoure to Juga fayre 5
    Dydde speke acroole[4], wythe languishment of eyne,
  Lyche droppes of pearlie dew, lemed[5] the quyvryng brine.

  ELINOURE.

    O gentle Juga! heare mie dernie[6] plainte,
    To fyghte for Yorke mie love ys dyghte[7] in stele;
    O maie ne sanguen steine the whyte rose peyncte, 10
    Maie good Seyncte Cuthberte watche Syrre Roberte wele. 
    Moke moe thanne deathe in phantasie I feele;
    See! see! upon the grounde he bleedynge lies;
  Inhild[8] some joice[9] of lyfe or else mie deare love dies.

  JUGA.
