For that his Souldiers tyred in the fight,

Their Prisoners more in number then they were,

He thought it for a thing of too much weight,

T’oppose freshe forces, and to guard them there.

The Daulphins Powers, yet standing in their sight,

And Burbons Forces of the field not cleere.

These yearning cryes, that from the Caridge came,

His bloud yet hott, more highly doth inflame

[And in his rage he instantly commands,]

[That euery English should his prisoner kill],
