straight And thanked the Earl at that tide Then on his horse he leaped light Saying my Lord ye lack a Guide But I shall you conduct full straight To where the Scots encamped are I know of old the Scotish sleight And crafty stratagems of war Thereto experience hath me taught Now I shall shew you who I am On borders here I was up brought And Bastard Hearon is my name What quoth th' Earl Bastard Hearon He dyed at least now two years since Betwixt Newarke and Northampton He perisht through the Pestilence Our King to death had deem'd the man ' Cause he the Scotish Warden slew And on our borders first began Those ●aging warrs for to renew But God his purpose did prevent He died of the Plague to prove King Harry his death did since lament He wondrous well the man did love Would God thy tale were true this tide Thou Bastard H●aron might be found Thou in this gate should be our guide I wot right well thou knows the ground I am the same said he again And therewith did unfold his face Each person then perceived plain That done he opened all the case Quoth he when I the Scots Warden Had with blade bereav'd of life I wist well I should get no pardon But sure I was to suffer death In hast King Harry for me sent To whom I durst not disobey So towards London straight I went But hark what wile I wrought by th' way I nought but truth to you shall note That time in many a Town and Borough The Pestilence was passing hot And raging reign'd all England thorough So coming to a certain Town I said I was infected sore And in a Lodge they laid me down VVhere company I had no more But my own secret servants three For Townsmen ' fraid for fear did watch So in that stead no more I staid But homeward by the dark dispatch My servants secretly that night Did frame a Corps in cunning sort And on the morrow as it was light My death did rufully report And so my servants soon that Morn The Corps to bury made them bowne Crying alas like men forlorn And seem'd for sorrow to fall down The Corps they cunningly convey'd And caus'd the Bells aloud be rung And money to the Priest they paid And Service for my soul was sung Which done they tydings straight did bring Unto King Henry how I was dead Christ have his soul then said the King For sure he should have lost his head If he up to the Court had come I promise had so by St. Paul But since God did prevent our doom Almighty Christ forgive his soul To Mansion mine I came at last By journies nimbly all be night And now two years or more are past Since J aptly appeard in sight No wight did weet but I was dead Save my three Servants and my wife Now I am start up in this steed And come again from death to life Which said the Lords and Captains Sam From laughing loud could not abstain To hear his ga●de they had good gam And of his welfare all were fain Whose policy they had perceived And often times his truth had try'd Which was the cause so sore they craved This Hearon grave to be their guid Then forth before he fiercely flew The Borders bold to him did draw The total Army did ensue And came that night to Wallers Haw There the English Lords did lodge their Host Because the place was plain and dry And was within six miles at most Whereas their Enemyes host did ly The morrow next they all remov'd Though weather were both fold and ill Along down by a pleasant flo●d which called is the water of till And all that day they view'd in sight Whereas the Scots for battle bold Because the day was spent that night The Army lodg'd at Barrin wood Then Valiantly with the Vantgard The morrow next with Mature skill The Admiral did march forward And passed over the water of till At Toynsil bridge with ordinance And other Engin● fit for War His father eke did forth advance And at Milford from thence not f●● With the rear ward the river past All ready in ranks and battle array They had no need more time to wast For victuals they had none that day But black fasting as they were born From flesh or fish or other food Drink had they none two dayes before But water wan in runing flood Yet they such stedful faiths did bear Unto their King and Native land Each one to other then did swear Gainst foes to fight while they could stand And never flee while life did last But rather dye by dint of sword thus over plains and hills they past Vntill they came at Sandifort A brook of breadth a Taylors yard Where the Earl of Surry thus did say Good fellows Souldiers be not fear'd But fight it out like men this day Like English men now play your parts Bestow your stroaks with stomack bold Yee know the Scottish coward hearts And how we have them scourged of old Strike but three stroaks with stomack stout And shoot each man sharp arrows three And you shall see without all doubt The scolding Scots begin to flee Think on your Countries common wealth In what estate the same shall stand To English men no hopes of health If Scots do get the upper hand If we should not boldly abide But beastlike backs of them should turn All England North from Trent to Tweed The haughty Scots would harry and burn Your Faithful wives your daughters pure They would not stick for to defile Of life none should be safe and sure But murthered be by villains vile But if yee 'l fight like Souldiers fierce So that by force we win the field My tongue cannot tell and rehearse What plenteous soil we then shall wield Beside all that perpetual praise Throughout all ages shall we gain And quietly drive forth our dayes And in perduring peace remain All Sam. the souldiers then repl●d And there to th' Earl promised plight There on that bent boldly to bide And never flee but fiercely fight Then Marched forth the men of War And every band their banner shew'd And Trumpets hoarse was heard afar And glistering harness shining view'd Thus they past forth on the plain And streight forth by a valley low Where up above on the Mountain The Scotish army in fight they saw Whom they did leave on the left hand And past forth on the sunny side Till 'twixt the Scots and Scotish land They were conducted by their guide Now all this while the King of Scots Beheld them fair before his eyne Within his mind drove many doubts Musing what th' English men did mean Giles Musgrave was a Guileful Greek And friend familiar with the King Who said Sir King if you do seek To know the English mens meaning Ye better notice none can have Then that which I to you shall tell What they forecast I full conceive Yea I know
