The king pursued greatly to his cost,

From hilles to woods, from woods to valleys playne:

And by the way his men and stuffe hee lost:

And when hee sawe[527] hee gayned naught but payne,

Hee blewe retreate and gate[528] him home agayne:

Then with my power I boldly came abroade,

Taken in my countrey for a very god.[529]
