E Guillemes de Cantelo,
Ke je par ceste raison lo,
Ke en honneur a tous tens vescu
Fesse vaire ot el rouge escu
De trois flours de lis de or espars
Naissans de testes de lupars .

Translated by Sir Nicholas Harris Nicolas as: "And William de Cantilupe, whom I for this reason praise, that he has at all times lived in honour. He had on a red shield a fess vair, with three fleurs-de-lys of bright gold issuing from leopard's heads" .
