with this chek broght to their powers where Cambris Sir Carmis like two towers Stoode at th assaulted gate did withstand the Heathen host with ech of them in hand An yron mace in stead of launces long brazen bucklers beating back the throng Their habergions like stiddies stithe they baire with helmets high pennons pight in aire Of equall age they were equall length Of equall courage of equall strength Like Poplers twaine that recheth vp their tops holds their heads so high that none thē crops But on the Riuers side do sweetely sway Like germaine brether hailsing oft a day The Heathen seing

purest breath whereby the drinker drank his present death O wretched folke who felt so hard a strife Drink or not drink both ways must lose their life For he that drank and he that did refraine Had of their enmies both an equall paine For why the water vile slew them throughout No lesse then did their enmies them about That wretched towne had neuer a strete nor rewe But Parcas their had found some

cōplaint if God of hosts had made them no restraint Yea I my self must weepe who cannot speake the woes that makes my heauie hart to breake And so will silent rest not reherse But conterfait the painter in my verse who thought his coulours paile could not declare the speciall woe king Agamemnon bare * Looke the table when sacrificed was his onely race with bend of black he bound the fathers
