Upon the morrow, when it was day,
The standards shone full bright;
To Newcastell they took the way,
And thither they came full right.
VIII
To Newcastell when that they came,
The Douglas cry’d on hyght:
‘Harry Percy, an thou bidest within,
Come to the field, and fight!—
IX
‘For we have brent Northumberland,
Thy herytage good and right;
And syne my lodging I have ta’en,
With my brand dubb’d many a knight.’
X
Sir Harry Percy came to the walls
The Scottish host for to see,
Sayd, ‘An thou hast brent Northumberland,
Full sore it rueth me.
XI
‘If thou hast haryed all Bamborowe shire,
Thou hast done me great envye;
For this trespasse thou hast me done
The tone[1043] of us shall die.’
