John Skelton (1460?-1529)
Astraea,* Justice hight,
That from the starry sky
Shall now come and do right.
This hundred year scantly
A man could not espy
That Right dwelt us among.
And that was the more wrong.
Right shall the foxes chare,
The wolves, the beares also,
That wrought have muche care,
And brought Engeland in woe
...
