increast They still increast outragious waxed Neuer meaning from mischiefe to haue ceast But practised who should be likst a beast Of their bad horrible acts one I le recite To shew the substance of their vile delight Within his house they tooke a woorthy knight And on a broch they thrust his murthered corse Then rosted him in wife and childrens sight Now after twelue had rauisht hir perforse To eate the scorched flesh without remorse Of hir deare Lord they did compell then slew Hir piteous selfe that lothed life to vewe What cruell Atreus might the like deuise What bloodie Progne like torture could inuent Nor he nor she nor Diuell I surmise Might haue bethought more dierfull bad euent Or worken thing of more astonishment Most villanous doer of wicked thing Their hellish voice make him their beastly king At Chalons occasion offered stay In our returne from Pruce to enter Fraunce Of these helhounds we heard the people say How diuers Ladies like were to mischaunce In Meulx for these dogbolt crewes aduaunce Thither enragd with spoile and rauishment Sad murther cause of wofull pale lament Which newes foorth told the Earle and I accord To rescue them or do our best deuoyre There once ariud vs welcoms they afford Most glad the Ladies of their present power Ioy makes their tears distill like siluer shower Faire Duches of Normandie and Orleance With more three hundred all in like mischance Though I were English yet tender pitie mooud My melting hart to fauor their distresse Twixt both the kings peace for a space was prooud If not what armed knight could haue done lesse Than to comfort chast Ladies comfortlesse Against such feends sterne bent to rude vprore Nine thousand thought yea som did number more And to the gates of Meulx inragd they came Which opened were by th villains of the towne Full were the streets with catiues void of shame With chilling fear the Ladies swapped downe In deadly sownd to heare ech rakehell clowne Yeall showting threts which made our house to shiuer Compasd part with Marne the gentle riuer Against their rage our gates we open wide Wherin there stood in glorious arms so bright The Earle of Foix and goodly armd beside Him stands the Duke of Orleance warly dight Their noble banners before them both they pight Foix bare gold three pales of streaming blood Thother Fraunce with faire large difference good With thretning Axe in hand I was at hand And my disuelopt pennon me before Thus when these clowns perceiud vs fearles stand Purposely Armd their filthie corps to gore As cewting Curs trudge when the lions rore So hartlesse clowns fled from our tried might Base clowns base thoughts and basely take their flight We slew the beas till wearie conquering tooles Were foule distaind with filthie rascald blood This dunghill broode these brainsicke fuming fooles That furies rage incensed raging wood Of their wild gore we make a gushing flood Of these base slaues we seuen thousand slew Fetherd with fear the rest fast nimbly flew Lothing the slaughter of this rascald rout Cause chaffering townsmen taken had their part Bright flaming fier we cast the towne about To teach them learne more ciuill kind of art The Ladies court vs with freed willing hart High praises ring of this that we had wrought Clownish practise soon are to ending brought A speciall time for valure to be shone A rare aduenture for heroique spirits Heer was that boyling valure might be shone We ours extend and giue vs but our rights The clowns nine thousand gatherd in our sights My cosen Foix and selfe had threescore launce With them we did atchiue this happie chaunce In such a cause for noble knight to die And sacrifice himselfe for iust defence Of Ladies truth beleeue it suer will I Of mightie God he shall haue recompence And in some sort for other sins dispence Braue knight chast Ladie bound is to defend Chast dame braue knight in honor to attend Ech knight that clothes himselfe in burnisht steele For Ladies truth and noble damsels right Least that reproch and bashfull shame he feele Must hazard life and enter dangerous fight As heer did we Ioue abled much our might These rascald peasants like to mad dogs slaine With thanks rewards remercied was our paine About this time from Parris safe was fled By cunning sleight king Charls king of Nauare His buisnes slie so craftily he sped Or that the busie regent were aware Spitefull defiance to him he doth declare And to the mightie realme in generall The like and then he ward vnto them all His part I tooke with those of my retaine He frankly paid and we did freshly serue Stoutest Frenchmen we mightily constraine For hunger many readie were to sterue The earth vntild none did the vineyard carue We patisd all the countrie to and fro That no man durst without our pasport go Thus of the fields and of the riuers Lords Faire castles towns we daily wan and tooke Vntill the Legate Cardnals set accords Between the Regent and the king who tooke His oth to be bon Francoys on a booke Before Melune his brother Philip was All malecontent from thence he soon did pas Int Normandie he and I to Cleremount For iarring wars were thundred openly To Fraunce for that they held not of account The treatise made in England sincerely In Beauesine I warred right fiercely Till Edward king safe past the raging streames Fully resolude to place his siege to Reames For me he sent I speedily obeyed Hauing wadge war to all the countrie round And came in time when as his siege he leayd To th' intended towne and all the prochaine ground We rifled and toth siege brought what we found The countries neere were growne so passing pore With thriftie hand the creasing yearth none store From thence the king remoud to Aguylon Staid there the lent for that an English squier Had tane Flauigni cald Iohn Dalison Wherein prouision was of great acquier With as good wine as need would well desier The squier was armed all in trustie blew A shining siluer scuchion faire to vew From thence toward Parris with consuming waste No costly building from our wrathfulnes Ech thing almost we turne vnto degaste Proud Frenchmens ioy we bring to balefulnes Their arbors spoile and vineyards pittiles That fairest buildings make we fowlest place And goodliest worke we batter breake and race Neere to the citie when the king was plast Commands a Herauld to him speedilie Toth regent Charls he said depart in hast And shew him here is staid his enimie That much desiers him and his knights to see In warding arms as noble knighthood should Defend his countrie by his courage bould This messenger performs commanded charge But Charls in battaile so to trie ne ment Some noble Lords hearing this message large To issue out for fight were fully bent But th'regent staid them dreading detriment For by
