[Myne ancient bearer did my armes display.[1261]

The battayle, vanard, and the rerewarde,

Were plaste in frunte, that men might fyght at wyll,

The forelorne hope of bowmen I preparde,

In skirmishing who had the perfect skil:

With archers eke I did the winges fulfyl,

To rescue them my men at armes were prest,

Then thus my speech amongst them I exprest.]
