[When one by one, men fearefull are]
When
one by one, men fearefull are
They quickly are affrighted,
And wanting weapons fit for warre,
Not daring be vnited:
Whether it be in towne or field
To th' enimies forces soone they yeeld.
They quickly are affrighted,
And wanting weapons fit for warre,
Not daring be vnited:
Whether it be in towne or field
To th' enimies forces soone they yeeld.
A simple souldier God doth knowe,
In Norfolke bloudie warres doth make,
And heapes of foes, doth ouerthrowe
Alone: and oft doth prisoners take:
Yet they haue fortes, so hath not hee,
Marry fearefull, and ill armed they be.
