Stephanus Marcus 10
Stephanus Marcus Book I
Canto 2
Verses 8 and 9
Now tidings bringing grave alarm to Saint
doth make that noble seek advice from James.
Duke Morley's knights have taken control with taint
of Broughton Place; Charles gave Liege cursing names.
Lord Saint is tired of peregrines and games.
Prince James thought time was right to make Liege fight
for Broughton Place and suffer deadly shames.
A broken sword would lessen Morley's might
unfit for Richard use when he must face his plight.
Sir Sinefred, knight of Bleadershame, would lead
Lord Saint's contingent brave and bold to fight.
With heavy impact Morley's lines would bleed
for Sinefred always reels the foe to flight.
Lord Morley's knights in sway will feel Duke's might.
Then Broughton Place shall be once more set free
and Morley's great unfair thing be set right.
All Morley's knights will honor Saint's decree.
For he'll not tolerate a knight to disagree.
