If captive wight attempt the tuneful strain,
The second page is [[DD102723]] and their transcription is on the page [[Richard Coeur de Lion]].
  His voice, belike, full dolefully will sound;
Yet, to the end 'tis comfort to complain.
  Frieds have I store and promises abound;
Shame on th niggards since, these winters twain
Unransom'd, still i wear a tyrant's chain.
 
Full well they knew, my lords and nobles all,
  Of England, Normandy, Guienne, Poictou,
Ne'er did I slight my poorest vassal's call,
  But all, whom wealth would buy, from chains withdrew.
Not in reproach I speak, nor idly vain,
But I alone unpitied bear the chain.
 
My fate will show "the dungeon and the grave
  Alike repel our kindred and out friends."
Here am I left their paltry gold to save!
  Sad fate is mine, but worse their crime attends.
Their lord will die; their conscience shall remain,
And tell how long I wore the galling chain.
 
To those my frieds, lond loved and ever dear,
  To gentle Cha&iuml;ll and kind Perserin,
Go forth, my song, and say, whate'er they hear,
