The English fury somewhat had beene stayde:

Weary with slaughter as men ouer-wrought,

Nor had beene spurr’d on by a second ayde:

For his owne safety, then more fiercely fought,

Hoping the tempest somewhat had been layde:

And he thereby (though suff’ring the defeate,)

Might keep his Reareward whole in his Retreate.

On whom the Duke of Excester then fell,

Reare with the Reare now for their Valours vy,

Ours finde the French their lyues will dearely sell;
