He had byn a march-man all hys dayes,
And kept Barwyke upon Twede.
To the Newe Castell when they cam,
The Skottes they cryde on hyght,
Syr Harye Perssye, and thow byste within,
Com to the fylde, and fyght:
For we have brente Northomberlonde,
Thy erytage good and ryght;
And syne my logeyng I have take,
With my brande dubbyd many a knyght.
