Syr Robt Dudlee boastd to Monarcho of the wytte of Jane Hir Phoole, but Monarcho protesttede thus:
"At Michaelmas, Jane ye Phole was putte forthe as an entraunt yn a Conteste of Punnes. Putte she forthe bravelie tenne gode punnes, but nonne of them wonne.
"No punne yn ten dydde."
And so Syr Robt plied hys boot to Monarcho's back-syde, tho he dydde laughe.
