Of strength declin’d, he sought by treacherie
To giue the day vnto the enemie.

In midst of martiall throng my folk t’excite,
As I did stand in skirmish ’gainst the foe,
A man of armes there was, which Osmeare hight,
So like to mee, that scarse you could him know,
By whom this traytor sought to worke vs woe:
For as in fight he stood without all dread,
False Edrick vndiscern’d did strike him dead.
