But from the scales and walles wee flang them downe amayne.

21.

It was my charge that time to keepe a bulwarke bace,

Where Bretons came along to enter by a streit:

’Twas in a bottome lowe, a pond was by the place,

By which they needes must passe vp to a posterne gate:

I meant to make them fishe the poole without a bayt,

Protesting ere they there should get the wall

Wee would as English dye, or gieue our foes the fall.
