No fort so fensible, no wals so strong,
2 But that continuall battery will riue,
Or daily siege through dispuruayance long,
4 And lacke of reskewes will to parley driue;
And +Peece+, that vnto parley eare will giue,
6 Will shortly yeeld it selfe, and will be made
The vassall of the victors will byliue:
8 That stratageme had oftentimes assayd
This crafty Paramoure, and now it plaine displayd.
5 Peece > Peace 1596
1 No fort so fencible, no walls so strong,
fencible > strong, well-fortified, defensible
2 But that continual battery will rive,
battery > {Battering; assault with many blows or missiles} rive > tear [it] open
3 Or daily siege, through dispurveyance long
dispurveyance > deprivation of provisions; hence: starvation
4 And lack of rescues, will to parley drive; 5 And piece, that to parley ear will give,
piece > [a] piece, piece of work, contrivance; hence: castle (as 211.14:9, with the same wordplay on "peace")
