When as report to great King Henry came,
Of a vast Route which from the Battaile fled,
(Amongst the French most men of speciall name)
By the stout English fiercely followed;
Had for their safety, (much though to their shame)
Got in their flight into so strong a sted,
So fortifi’d by nature (as ’twas thought)
They might not thence, but with much blood be brought.
The Kings slight answer.
