Hot.

Reuolted Mortimer?

He neuer did sail off, my Soueraigne Liege,

But by the chance of Warre: to proue that true,

Needs no more but one tongue. For all those Wounds,

Those mouthed Wounds, which valiantly he tooke,

When on the gentle Seuernes siedgie banke,

In single Opposition hand to hand,

He did confound the best part of an houre

In changing hardiment with great Glendower:

Three times they breath'd, and three times did they drink

Vpon agreement, of swift Seuernes flood;

Who then affrighted with their bloody lookes,

Ran fearefully among the trembling Reeds,

And hid his crispe‑head in the hollow banke,

Blood‑stained with these Valiant Combatants.
