While they assigned were by our command,
On th’other side of Seuern’s streame to stand.

The day of fight being come and order giuen,
Through either host to euery seuerall band
To keepe their stand, my souldiers vp to heau’n
Did cast their eyes, beseeching Ioue to stand
By me in fight, and grace my powerfull hand
With conquest ’gainst Canute, by whom cast downe,
They did expect the rise of my renowne.
