Of a hundred bowmen thou'st be my head."

"My lord," says he, "if you have chosen me

Of a hundred bowmen to be the head,

Hang me at your main-mast tree,

If I miss my mark past twelve pence bread."

With pikes, and guns, and bowmen bold,

This noble Howard is gone to the sea;

bread, breadth.

On the day before mid-summer even,

And out at Thames mouth sailed they.
