The Frenche king fled, for haste he left his store behinde:
When hee was once assurde the duke of Yorke drue nere,
Hee durst not stay to bide the time or place assinde
To fight our regent with, but fled away for feare:
By these assayes you see what men in Fraunce they were,
Discouragde oft, slayne, put to flight, and fall:
By sight, force, fight, and names, of nombers small.
73.
There when the duke had fortefyde our Pontoise towne,
Then he pursude the Frenche king erst that fled,
