The Poetical Works of John Skelton | ||
Lenuoy.
Go, lytell quayre, quickly;Shew them that shall you rede,
How that ye are lykely
Ouer all the worlde to sprede.
The fals Scottes for dred,
With the Duke of Albany,
Beside the water of Twede
They fledde full cowardly.
Though your Englishe be rude,
Barreyne of eloquence,
Yet, breuely to conclude,
Grounded is your sentence
On trouthe, vnder defence
Of all trewe Englyshemen,
This mater to credence
That I wrate with my pen.
