This Note doth tell me of ten thousand French

That in the field lye slaine: of Princes in this number,

And Nobles bearing Banners, there lye dead

One hundred twentie six: added to these,

Of Knights, Esquires, and gallant Gentlemen,

Eight thousand and foure hundred: of the which,

Fiue hundred were but yesterday dubb'd Knights.

So that in these ten thousand they haue lost,

There are but sixteene hundred Mercenaries:

The rest are Princes, Barons, Lords, Knights, Squires,

And Gentlemen of bloud and qualitie.

The Names of those their Nobles that lye dead:

Charles Delabreth, High Constable of France,

Iaques of Chatilion, Admirall of France,

The Master of the Crosse-bowes, Lord Rambures,
