About some carcase by the common way,
Doe fall together, stryuing each to get
The greatest portion of the greedie pray;
All on confused heapes themselues assay,
And snatch, and byte, and rend, and tug, and teare;
That who them sees, would wonder at their tray,
And who sees not, would be affrayd to heare.
Such was the conflict of those cruell Brigants there.
But first of all, their captiues they doe kill, xviii
Least they should ioyne against the weaker side,
