Manuscript, on parchment, in at least two scribal hands, of this narrative poem by John Lydgate. The text was almost certainly originally complete but now lacks the Prologue and the opening stanzas of Book I, opening at the line "For to be crowned in that regeous" and lacking the final few leaves of text as well. There is also a textual lacuna between f92v and f93r, Contemporary textual corrections and insertions marked by red crosses. Occasional pen trials and names in contemporary hands, and Autograph letter signed from Frederic Madden to Lord Braybrooke, 1840 March 9, tipped in at front of volume. The letter contains a description of the manuscript and advises that it be rebound while preserving the initials of Mary Sidney

A very tall thin gentleman with elongated wig and dour expression sits facing left on a block labelled "Stool of repentance" as he pulls a frog apart by its legs. Strapped to him by a belt around the waist is an old long-haired and bearded man, with bows on his shoes and holding a purse marked "empty". On the right, a sailor stands facing the viewer and holding in his hand a club, as he points towards the two men and smiles. Next to him on the ground lies a bag marked "1000 dollars." Probably a reference to the Bourbon Family Compact wherein Spain allied herself with France to regain Gibraltar
