Illustrate Essex did approch the towne,
Where scaling ladders laid vnto the wall
Were fill’d with men, who climing for renowne,
Did hazard death from off the walles cast downe:
For from th’assault to force them to retire,
Thicke fell downe darts, huge stones, and dreadfull fire.
415.
The fearefull cries of men on either side,
Rung through the towne, as they the walles did scale,
Not long the bold defendants did abide
