And there vpon an hill, Anne Beame by name,

I downe did pight my standerd, and fast by

My campe in martiall order I did frame:

Richmond fast by vs on the plaine did lie,

Next morne the chance of battell for to trie:

For it was euening ere we could attaine

To meete each other vpon Bosworth plaine.

The sad night’s cold forerunner Vesper faire,

Dispreades her golden lockes in easterne skie:
