She loked upp and downe; There was she ware of an host of men, is
Come riding to the towne.

And look what I do see; Yonder is ther an host of men,

That had comd riding home ; Then was it traitour Captaine Care,
The lord of Ester-towne.
They were no soner at supper sett, a
Then after said the grace, Or captaine Care and all his men
Wer lighte aboute the place.
" Gyve over thi howsse, thou lady gay,
And I will make the a bande ; 30
To-nighte thoust ly wythin my arm,
To-morrowe thou shall ere my lan[de]."

That was both whitt and redde, " 0 mother dere, geve over your howsse, ss
Or elles we shal be deade." |
