And made each one his best strength to bestow,

To purchase fame by downefall of his foe,

Death set on foot ran round about the field,

Whole troopes of men t’her conquering stroke did yeeld.

In th’heate of fight, I caus’d a troope of horse

To breake vpon the rereward of the foe,

Who brauely gaue the charge, and with such force

Their fainting troopes in heapes did ouerthrow,

That they their rankes were forced to forgo,
