 Gloceſter and Lord Clifford's corpſe
 * were home to England ſent,

And there inter'd in ſolemn ſort,
 * while thouſands did lament.

The fatal expedition
 * which on the Scots was made,

Where fifty thouſand lives were lost,
 * of nobles, ſeven hundred.

Who ruſh'd agaiaſt the Scottish ſwords
 * and did disdain to flee:

O heavy news to England came,
 * of their ſad deſtiny.

Of Scots that day lay on the field
 * four thouſand men and more,

Yet gain'd their fame by ſword & shield
 * was loſt long time before.
