An. eodem. Earle of Essex.

Sir Walter Deuoreux.

When noble Deuoreux, that heroicke knight,

To shew his loue to armes and cheualrie,

Ingag’d his person in that furious fight

Before that towne, hight Roan in Normandie,

His honor’d brother fighting valiantly;

Who though but yong, yet oft approu’d in fight,

By a small shot was slaine in his owne sight.
