And euerie one did buckle to the field,

Thirsting to bloodie fight their strength to yeild.

77.

Then did the trumpet shrill sound out alowd

To bring them bold to the insatiate field,

And on the plaine both parts in thickest crowd

Opposing sword to sword and shield to shield,

Not fear’d with death, but with stout courage fild,

Began the fight, and none their backs did turne,

In euerie place the skirmish hot did burne.
