Question 1

Siþen þe sege & þe assaut wat3 sesed at Troye,

Þe bor3 brittened & brent to bronde3 & aske3,

Þe tulk þat þe trammes of tresoun þer wro3t,

Wat3 tried for his tricherie, þe trewest on erthe;

Hit wat3 Ennias þe athel, & his highe kynde,

Þat siþen depreced prouinces, & patrounes bicome

Welne3e of al þe wele in þe west iles,

Fro riche Romulus to Rome ricchis hym swyþe,

With gret bobbaunce þat bur3e he biges vpon fyrst,

& neuenes hit his aune nome, as hit now hat;

Answer 1

After the siege and the assault at Troy had ceased, and the city had been shattered to pieces and burnt to embers and ashes, and after the man who wrought there the schemes of treason was tried for his treachery, which was the truest on earth: it was then noble Aeneus, and his great kindred, who subjugated nations and became the masters of almost all the wealth in the western realms. From the time that great Romulus directed his course to Rome, as it is now called, and built with great pomp that city that he founded and named after himself (which it still holds).

Question 2

Ticius to Tuskan [turnes,] & teldes bigynnes;

Langaberde in Lumbardie lyftes vp homes;

& fer ouer þe French flod Felix Brutus

On mony bonkkes ful brode Bretayn he sette3,

Where werre, & wrake, & wonder,

Bi syþe3 hat3 wont þer-inne,

Ful skete hat3 skyfted synne.
