before, Vpon light Naggs the Countrey to discry._" --"Before day-break
the next morning, Wednesday the 14th of August, John Holland, Earl of
Huntingdon, Sir Gilbert Umfreville, and Sir John Cornwall, were sent
with a party of cavalry to reconnoitre Harfleur and its vicinity, with
the view of selecting a proper situation for the encampment of the army"
(Sir Harris Nicolas).

gets._" --_Whilst_ must here be taken as = _meanwhile_.

Page 35, l. 3. "_With sprightly words_" _etc._ --The confusion in this
line is evidently due to the printer. Drayton must have written: "And
thus with sprightly words," etc.

Page 35, l. 9 [Stz. 87]. "_He first of all proclaim'd._"
--"A proclamation was issued forbidding under pain of death a repetition
of some excesses which had been committed, and commanding that

countermining somewhat disappointed the Englishmen, and came to fight
with them hand to hand within the mynes, so that they went no further
forward with that worke."

Page 41, l. 30 [Stz. 113]. "_But on his bare feete to the Church he
came._" --"He dismounted at the gate, took off his shoes and stockings,
and proceeded barefoot to the church of St. Martin, where he gave solemn
thanks to God for his success" (Sir Harris Nicolas, quoting the French
chroniclers), Holinshed mentions Henry's repairing to the church to
offer thanks, but omits the picturesque circumstance of his going
