One ware his Mistris Garter, one her Gloue;
And he a lock of his deare Ladies haire;

The cloudes of dust, that from the wayes arose,
Which in their martch, the trampling Troupes doe reare:
When as the Sunne their thicknesse doth oppose
In his descending, shining wondrous cleare,

For this short Cut with victuall fully stor'd,
The King impatient of their long aboad,

Others againe their owne Diuises beare,
There was not any, but that more or lesse,
Something had got, that something should expresse.

First, in the [b]Kentish Stremer was a Wood,
Out of whose top an arme that held a Sword,
As their right Embleme; and to make it good,
They aboue other onely had a Word,
Which was; Vnconquer'd; as that freest had stood.

Bore a Blacke Lyon Rampant, sore that bled,
With a Field-Arrow darted through the head.

In many a Field that honour'd was of olde:)
