All the land is set with such folks stout.


For men of such manners, unless there be some justice,

In some few years, perchance, a war shall rise.

The king heard all they said—the plaint of each town;

And gave them a new name, and called them ‘Trailbastoun.’


The king through the land did seek men of renown,

And with the justices them bound, to sit on Trailbastoun;

Some on quest they ’demned to be bounden in prisons;
