 A will be had ere long I doubt it not.

Edw. If, doost thou say? Spencer, as true as death. He is in Englands ground, our Port-masters Are not so carelesse of their Kings command. How now, what newes with thee? from whence come these?

Poast. Letters my Lord, and tidings forth of France, To you my Lord of Gloster from Lewne.

Edw. Reade. My duty to your Honour premised, &c. I have according to instructions in that behalfe, dealt with the King of France his Lords, and effected that the Queene all discontented and discomforted, is gone, whither if you aske, with Sir John of Henolt, Brother to the Marquesse, into Flaunders: with them are gone Lord Edmond, and the Lord Mortimer, having in their company divers of your Nation and others, and as constant report goeth, they intend to give King Edward battell in England, sooner then hee can looke for them: this is all the newes of Import.

Edw. Ah Villaines, hath that Mortimer escapt? With him is Edmond gone associate: And will Sir John of Henolt lead the round? Welcome a Gods name Madam and your sonne, England shall welcome you, and all your route, Gallop apace bright Phæbus through the skye, And dusky night in rusty Iron Carre, Betweene you both, shorten the time I pray, That I may see that most desired day, When we may meet these traitors in the field. Ah nothing greeves me but my little Boy, Is thus misled to countenance their ils. Come friends to Bristow, there to make us strong, And winds as equall be to bring them in, As you injurious were to beare them forth.
