This matcht with other like, my gracious Lord,

Farre more vneuen and vnwelcome Newes

Came from the North, and thus it did report:

On Holy‑roode Day, the gallant Hotspurre there,

That euer‑valiant and approoued Scot,

At Holmeden met, where they did spend

a sad and bloody houre:

And shape of likely‑hood the newes was told;

For he that brought them, in the very heate

And pride of their contention did take horse,

Vncertaine of the issue any way.
