A shrilling trompet sownded from on hye,
2 And vnto battaill bad them selues addresse:
Their shining shieldes about their +wrestes+ they tye,
4 And burning blades about their heads do blesse,
The instruments of wrath and heauinesse:
6 With greedy force each other doth assayle,
And strike so fiercely, that they do impresse
8 Deepe dinted furrowes in the battred mayle;
The yron walles to ward their blowes are weake and fraile.
