177168Which once in him abated, al the rest

178169Turnd on themselues, like dull and heauy lead.

179170And as the thing thats heauy in it selfe,

180171Vpon enforcement flies with greatest speed:

181172So did our men, heauy in Hot-spurs losse,

182173Lend to this weight such lightnesse with their feare,

183174That arrowes fled not swifter toward their ayme,

184175Than did our souldiers aiming at their safetie,

185176Fly from the field: then was that noble Worcester,

186177So soone tane prisoner, and that furious Scot,

187178The bloudy Douglas whose well labouring sword,

188179Had three times slaine th'appearance of the King,

189180Gan vaile his stomacke, and did grace the shame

190181Of those that turnd their backes, and in his flight,

191182Stumbling in feare, was tooke: the summe of all

192183Is, that the King hath wonne, and hath sent out,

193184A speedy power to incounter you my lord,

194185Vnder the conduct of yong Lancaster,

195186And Westmerland: this is the news at ful.

196187Earle For this I shal haue time enough to mourne,

197188In poison there is phisicke, and these newes,

198189Hauing beene wel, that would haue made me sicke:

199190Being sicke, haue (in some measure) made me wel:

200191And as the wretch whose feuer-weakned ioynts,

201192Like strengthlesse hinges buckle vnder life,

202193Impacient of his fit, breakes like a fire

203194Out of his keepers armes; euen so my limbes,

204195Weakened with griefe being now enragde with griefe,

205196Are thrice themselues: hence therfore thou nice crutch,

206197A scaly gauntlet now with ioynts of steele

207198Must gloue this hand, and hence thou sickly coife,

208199Thou art a guard too wanton for the head,

209200Which princes, flesht with conquest, ayme to hit:

210201Now bind my browes with yron, and approach

211202The raggedst houre that Time and Spight dare bring,

212203To frowne vpon th'inragde Northumberland,
