soldiers armed with swords, pikes and shields

WHen Captain couragious , whom deeth could not daunt , Had roundly besiged the City of Gaunt , And manly they marched by two and by three , But the formost in battell was mary Ambree . Thus being inforced to fight with their foes . On each side most fiercely they seemed to close , Each one fought for honour in every degrée , But none so much won it as mary Ambree . When brave Serjeant Major was slain in the fight , Which was her own true Love , her joy and delight She swore unrevenged his blood should not be , Was not this a brave bonny Lasse , mary Ambree . She clothed her selfe from the top to the toe , With Buffe of the bravest most séemly to show : A fair shirt of Male over that slipped she ' Was not this a brave bonny Lasse , mary Ambree . A Helmet of proofe she put on her head , A strong armed Sword she girt on her side : A faire goodly Gautlet on her right hand wore she , Was not this a brave bonny Lasse , mary Ambree . Then took she her Sword and her Target in hand ; And called all those that would be of her Band , To wait on her person ther came thousands thrée Was not this a brave bonny Lasse , mary Ambree . Before you shall perish the worst of you all , Or come to any danger of enemies thrall : This hand and this life of mine shall set you frée , Was not this a brave bonny Lasse , mary ambree ; The Drums & the Trumpets did sound out alarme And many a hundred did lose leg and arme : And many a thousand she brought on their knée , Was not this a brave bonny Lasse , mary Ambree ;

two ladies, one dressed as a man, and one in formal dress

THe skie she then filled with smoak of her shot And her enimies bodies with bullets most hot For one of her owne men a score killed she Was not this a brave bonny Lasse , Mary Ambree ? But then her false Gunner did spoyle her in fent . Her Powder and Bullets away he had sent : And then with her weapon she flasht him in three . Was not this a brave bonny Lasse , Mary Ambree ? Then took she her Castle where she did abide , Her enimies besiged on every side , To beate down her Castle walles they did agree , And all was to overcome Mary Ambree ? Then took she her Sword and Target in hand And upon her brave Castle walls stoutly did stand , So daring the Captains to match any three , And what a brave Captaine was Mary Ambee At her then they smilled not thinking in heart , That she could have performed so valorous a part : The one said to the other we shortly shall see , This gallant brave Captaine before us to flee . Why , who doe you think me or take me to be , Vnto these brave Souldiers so valient spake she ? A Knight Sir of England and Captain quoth they Whome shortly we meane to take prisoner away . No Captain of England behould in your sight , Two brest in on bosom and therefore no Knight : No Knight Sir of England , nor Captain quoth she , But even a poore bonny Lasse , Mary Ambree . But art thou a woman , as thou dost declare ; That hast made us thus spend our armor in war , The like in our times we never did see , And therefore we 'l honour brave Mary Ambree . The Prince of great Parma heard of her renown , Who long had advanced for Englands faire Crown , In token he sent her a Glove and a Ring , And said she should be his Bride at his wedding . Why ho doth he thinke me or take me to be , Though he be a Prince , and of great dignity . It shall neuer be said in England so free , That a stranger did marry with mary Ambree . Then unto faire England she back did returne , Still holding the Foes of brave England in scorne , In valour no woman was ever like she , Was not this a brave bonny Lasse Mary Ambree ? In this womans praises , I le here and my Son Whose heart was approved in valour most 〈◊〉 Let all sorts of people what ever they be Sing forth the great valours of Mary Am●●●●
