O noble, O worthy Petro, glorie of Spayne,Whom Fortune heeld so hye in magestee,Wel oghten men thy pitous deeth complayne!Out of thy land thy brother made thee flee,And after, at a seege, by subtiltee,Thou were bitraysed and lad unto his tente,Where as he with his owene hand slow thee,
Succedynge in thy regne and in thy rente.
