Yet nathelesse[1874] wee thought by famine make them yeelde,
Eke they by fight or succours hoapt the seige to rayse,
T’accomplish which they rusht on sodayne out to feelde,
As bent to dy or win the wanted foode with prayse:
And wee as ready were for them at all assayes:
These eager impes whome foode, want, feazde to fight amayne,
Wee forc’d them dye, fall, fly, to take theyr forte agayne.
