Who ring'd about with bold aduersitie,

Cries out for noble Yorke and Somerset,

To beate assayling death from his weake Regions,

And whiles the honourable Captaine there

Drops bloody swet from his warre‑wearied limbes,

And in aduantage lingring lookes for rescue,

You his false hopes, the trust of Englands honor,

Keep off aloofe with worthlesse emulation:

Let not your priuate discord keepe away

The leuied succours that should lend him ayde,

While he renowned Noble Gentleman

Yeeld vp his life vnto a world of oddes.

Orleance the Bastard, Charles, Burgundie,
