quot Turks Persians conquered Antiochia won	B
Be glorious acts and full of glorious praise	C
By Heaven's mere grace not by our prowess done	B
Those conquests were achieved by wondrous ways	C
If now from that directed course we run	B
The God of Battles thus before us lays	C
His loving kindness shall we lose I doubt	D
And be a byword to the lands about	D

Abused be or split in profane wise	E
But let the issue correspondent prove	A
To good beginnings of each enterprise	E

What lets us then the great Jerusalem	F
With valiant squadrons round about to hem	G

quot Lords I protest and hearken all to it	H
Ye times and ages future present past	I
Hear all ye blessed in the heavens that sit	H
The time for this achievement hasteneth fast	I

Our sureties shall with doubt be overcast	I
If we forslow the siege I well foresee	J
From Egypt will the Pagans succored be quot	I

This said the hermit Peter rose and spake	K
Who sate in counsel those great Lords among	L

In private cell who erst lived closed long	M

Your acts I trust will correspond his speech	N
Yet one thing more I would you gladly teach	N

quot These strifes unless I far mistake the thing	O
And discords raised oft in disordered sort	I
Your disobedience and ill managing	O
Of actions lost for want of due support	I
Refer I justly to a further spring	O
Spring of sedition strife oppression tort	I
I mean commanding power to sundry given	B
In thought opinion worth estate uneven	B

XXXI	J
quot Where divers Lords divided empire hold	I
Where causes be by gifts not justice tried	I
Where offices be falsely bought and sold	I
Needs must the lordship there from virtue slide	I
Of friendly parts one body then uphold	I
Create one head the rest to rule and guide	I
To one the regal power and sceptre give	A
That henceforth may your King and Sovereign live quot	I

XXXII	J
And therewith stayed his speech O gracious Muse	J
What kindling motions in their breasts do fry	P
With grace divine the hermit's talk infuse	J
That in their hearts his words may fructify	A
By this a virtuous concord they did choose	J
And all contentions then began to die	P
The Princes with the multitude agree	J
That Godfrey ruler of those wars should be	J

XXXIII	J
This power they gave him by his princely right	I
All to command to judge all good and ill	Q
Laws to impose to lands subdued by might	I
To maken war both when and where he will	Q
To hold in due subjection every wight	I
Their valors to be guided by his skill	Q
This done Report displays her tell tale wings	J
And to each ear the news and tidings brings	J

She told the soldiers who allowed him meet	I
And well deserving of that sovereign place	J
Their first salutes and acclamations sweet	I
Received he with love and gentle grace	J
After their reverence done with kind regreet	I
Requited was with mild and cheerful face	J
He bids his armies should the following day	I
On those fair plains their standards proud display	I
	-
XXXV	A
The golden sun rose from the silver wave	A
And with his beams enamelled every green	R
When up arose each warrior bold and brave	A
Glistering in filed steel and armor sheen	R
With jolly plumes their crests adorned they have	A
And all tofore their chieftain mustered been	S
He from a mountain cast his curious sight	I
On every footman and on every knight	I
	-
XXXVI	A
My mind Time's enemy Oblivion's foe	A
Disposer true of each noteworthy thing	O
Oh let thy virtuous might avail me so	A
That I each troop and captain great may sing	O
That in this glorious war did famous grow	A
Forgot till now by Time's evil handling	O
This work derived from my treasures dear	T
Let all times hearken never age outwear	T
XXXVII	A
The French came foremost battailous and bold	I
Late led by Hugo brother to their King	O
From France the isle that rivers four infold	I
With rolling streams descending from their spring	O
But Hugo dead the lily fair of gold	I
Their wonted ensign they tofore them bring	O
Under Clotharius great a captain good	I
And hardy knight ysprong of princes' blood	I

XXXVIII	A
A thousand were they in strong armors clad	I
Next whom there marched forth another band	I
That number nature and instruction had	I
Like them to fight far off or charge at hand	I
All valiant Normans by Lord Robert lad	I
The native Duke of that renowned land	I
Two bishops next their standards proud upbare	T
Called Reverend William and Good Ademare	T
	-
XXXIX	A
Their jolly notes they chanted loud and clear	T
On merry mornings at the mass divine	U
And horrid helms high on their heads they bear	T
When their fierce courage they to war incline	U
The first four hundred horsemen gathered near	T
To Orange town and lands that it confine	U
But Ademare the Poggian youth brought out	I
In number like in hard assays as stout	I
	-
XL	I
Baldwin his ensign fair did next dispread	I
Among his Bulloigners of noble fame	V
His brother gave him all his troops to lead	I
When he commander of the field became	V
The Count Carinto did him straight succeed	I
Grave in advice well skilled in Mars his game	V
Four hundred brought he but so many thrice	A
Led Baldwin clad in gilden arms of price	A
