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

Then join they with the Welsh, who fitly train'd

And all in arms under a mighty head

Great Glendower, who long warr'd, and much attain'd,

With whom was Edmund Earl of March retain'd

Being first his prisoner, now confedered,

A man the king much fear'd, and well he might

Lest he should look whether his crown stood right.
