48
To tell at home the glory of the day;
Marton rejoiced, and Langcliffe youths were glad,
But Halton's warriors marched but slow and sad;
Few were their numbers—they had left the best
Cold on the field—Smith, Burley, Shyres, and West.
Garforths had fought till all their horses fell,
But at their side were Tempest, Scott, and Stell,
Or these four brothers had at once been slain,
Nor hunted in the vale of Aire again.
