English poem
Josue
by Stephen Hawes (1474–1523)
And in lyke wyse duke Josue the gente, Whiche was ryght strong and fyerce in battayle, Whose noble feates hyghe and excellent I have caused, wyth diligente travayle, To abyde in bokes without ony fayle: Who lyst his story for to se or here, In the Byble it doth right well appere.
