And left the towne vnto their foes for prey,
Whereby the castle taken with the same,
They did possesse in Don Antonioe’s name.

From hence towards Lisbon they did march forthright,
And in the way the noble generall
Did enter Torres Vedras, in despight

Who gaue his faith to them of Portugale
T’oppose him in the field, though with delay,
