(1330–1360)
Long live, therefore, the young Edward, and may he himself embody the
virtues that enriched each of his forefathers separately. May he follow the
industry of King Henry II, the well-known valour of King Richard, may he
reach the age of King Henry [III], revive the wisdom of King Edward [I] and
remind us of the physical strength and comeliness of his father.
