Where Charles kept his men secure,

Thinking on battle ev’ry hour.

But, Cope to move no man could treat,

More than he had been Arthur’s seat,

On which hillside he spy’d some men,

And vow’d they were the Rebel train,

Which was divided in parties two,

And on his rear in ambush drew;

For which the piece of ground he chus’d,

As on all sides it was inclos’d.
