Whereby the shores were stuft with men of armes.

Fiue hundred saile well mann’d against the foes,
I launcht into the seas with them to fight:
And for the generall of the fight I chose
My bastard brother, William Longspath hight,
Of those our troublous times the brauest knight,
Who at this time his valiancie did show,
In this sea-fight against th’inuading foe.
