With furious onset on the aduerse part,
That vnto flight themselues they did betake,
Nor durst the brest that bore the boldest hart
Stand forth ’gainst vs to shake his threatning dart:
False traytor’s hearts the coward’s feare doth feele,
Nor can an edge be set vpon their steele.

The Saxon Cerdicus and Mordred both
Confederates in this treason ’gainst our state,
Did flie t’escape the meed of their vntroth,
