History & Politics
Off Cartage he, that worthie warier
Could overcome, but cowld not use his chaunce;
And I, like wise off all my long endever.
The sherpe conquest, tho fortune did avaunce,
Could not it use : the hold that is gyvin over
I unpossest : so hangith in balaunce
Off warr my pees, reward of all my payne ;
At Mountzon thus I restles rest in Spayne.
