King Henrye lookte over his shoulder agayne,

Amongst his lordes of hye degree:

‘Have I not a lord in all my land soe stoute

Der take yon robber upon the sea?’

‘Yes,’ then did answeer my lord Charls Howwarde,

Neare the kinge’s grace that he did stande;

He saide, If your Grace will give me leave,

My selfe will be the onlie man,
