But when hee saw his sisters sonne slaine,

Lord! in his heart hee was not well:

‘Goe ffeitch me downe my armour of proue,

Ffor I will to the topcastle my-selfe.

‘Goe ffeitch me downe my armour of prooffe,

For itt is guilded with gold soe cleere;

God be with my brother, Iohn of Bartton!

Amongst the Portingalls hee did itt weare.’
