YOu noble Brittaines bold and hardy , That iustly are deriv'd from Brute , Who were in battell ne're found t rdy , But still will fight for your repute ; 'gainst any hee , What e'r a'be , Now for your credit list to me , Two Welchmens valour you shall see . There two undaunted Troian worthies , ( Who prized honour more then life , ) With Royall Charles , who in the North is , To salve ( with care ) the ulcerous strife ; Which frantick sots , With conscious spots , Bring on their soules ; these two hat shots , Withstood full fifteene thousand Scots . The manner how shall be related , That all who are King Charles his friends May be with courage animated , Vnto such honourable ends ; These cavaliers , Both Musquetiers , Could never be possess with feares , Though the Scots Army nigh appearee . Within their workes neere Tyne intrench'd Some of our Soveraignes forces lay ; When the Scots Army came , they flinched , And on good cause retyr'd away ; Yet blame them not , For why the Scot , Was five to one , and came so hot , Nothing by staying could be got . Yet these two Martialisto so famous , One to another thus did say ; Report hereafter shall not shame us , Let Welchmen scorne to runne away ; Now for our King . Let 's doe a th●●g Whereof the world shall loudly ring Vnto the grace of our off-spring . The vaunting Scot shall know what valour , Doth in a Britains brest reside ; They shall not bring us any dolour ; But first wee 'll tame some of their pride . What though we dy , Both thee and I ? Yet this we know assuredly , In life and death ther 's victory .
