King.

Heere is a deere, and true industrious friend,

Sir Walter Blunt, new lighted from his Horse,

Strain'd with the variation of each soyle,

Betwixt that Holmoden and this Seat of ours:

And he hath brought vs smooth and welcomes newes.

The Earle of Dowglas is discomfited,

Ten thousand bold Scots, two and twenty Knights

Balk'd in their owne blood did Sir Walter see

On Holmedons Plaines. Of Prisoners, Hotspurre tooke

Mordake Earle of Fife, and eldest sonne

To beaten Dowglas, and the Earle of Atholl,

Of Murry, Angus, and Menteith.

And is not this an honourable spoyle?

A gallant prize? Ha Cosin, is it not? Infaith it is.
