Magna Carta
Neither we nor our doom shall seize
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
Feudal lords, Let debts due to others than
Jews 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.
