The Duke of Buckingham the tydings hard,

And shortlye ran to the Erle of Darbye:

93

‘Brother, plucke vp thy hart and be merrye,

And let noe tydings greeve thee!

Yesterday, thy men called cowerds were,

And this day they haue woone the victorye.’

94

The duke tooke the erle by the arme,

And thus they ledden to the prince [trulye].
