Owre Kynge went forth to Normandy
With grace and myght of chyvalry
Ther God for hym wrought mervelusly;
Wherefore Englonde may call and cry

He sette sege, forsothe to say,
To Harflu towne with ryal aray;
That toune he wan and made afray
That Fraunce shal rewe tyl domesday.

Chorus

Then went hym forth, owre king comely,
In Agincourt feld he faught manly;
Throw grace of God most marvelsuly,
He had both feld and victory.

Were slayne and taken and that full soon,
Ans summe were broght into Lundone
With joye and blisse and gret renone.

His peple, and alle his well-wyllynge,
And give them grace wythoute endyng;
Then may we call and savely syng:
