Magna Carta
For any poise any land or lease,
As long as the chattel of the swindle,
Being ample to repay the dwindle.
Nor shall those be pledged to save,
For the dodger being detained so pave,
As the prime debtor being able to pay,
To satisfy the debt alongside the bake.
To pay money for any significant due,
Having nothing wherewith challenge to face,
Then the good hands shall answer the debt.
To have the lands for rents and rave,
Of the debtor, if they desire for them,
Until they are reimbursed for the balance due.
Which they have paid for nonchalance,
Unless the principal debtor can show,
The proof to discharge his duress to them.
If one who has borrowed from the Jews
Any sum,
Great or small, dies before that
Can be repaid,
His heir shall pay no dues.
On the debt for so long remaining under age,
Irrespective from which he holds his heads.
If such a debt falls into our hands,
We take nothing except the foremost owed.
As mentioned in the bond not being along.
And if any one die indebted to the Jews,
His wife shall have her dower and pay.
Of that debt; and if any children of hay,
Being left underage, the sum if due be able.
For them in keeping with the holding,
Of the deceased, the debt shall be paid.
Out of the dregs, save the service due lords,
Let debts due to others be dealt with in similar mode.
No scuttle or aid shall be imposed,
On our realm, unless by common counsel,
Of our kingdom, except for reimbursing hale,
For making our eldest son a knight,
And marrying our eldest daughter one time.
For these, only a reasonable aid is levied.
In like manner it shall be done concerning,
Aids from the city of anywhere depositing ,
No man shall be compelled to do more,
Service for a knight’s fee, or for any land.
Free-holding, than is due from it.
