And euery where did cause their hearts to quaile:
Whose wretched state from farther spoile to shield,
I by my power did force him flie the field.
He fled to Norway whence a cloud did rise
That did obscure the shine of my content,
When loe the Norman duke did then deuise,
If I to yeeld my scepter would assent,
For which betwixt vs to and fro there went
Despightfull letters, which I will recite,
Wherein he claimes, and I defend my right. N.
