The Civil Wars Between the Two Houses of Lancaster and York (Selection)

111

Hadst thou not there lent present speedy aid

210

To thy endanger'd father nearly tired,

Whom fierce encountering Douglas overlaid,

That day had there his troublous life expired:

Heroical Courageous Blunt arrayed

In habit like as was the king attir'd

215

And deem'd for him, excus'd that fate with his,

For he had what his Lord did hardly miss.
