Trang 43 - Young, master glazier to her majesty, feeling a sweet savour to come from thence, and seeing the same dried from all moisture, and yet the form remaining, with the hair of the head, and beard red, brought it to London to his house in Wood Street, where for a time he kept it for the sweetness, but in the end caused the sexton of that church to bury it amongst other bones taken out of their charnel, &c.
Trang 42 - No one failed him ! He is keeping Royal state and semblance still ; Knight and noble lie around him, Cold on Flodden's fatal hill. Of the brave and gallant-hearted, Whom ye sent with prayers away, Not a single man departed From his. Monarch yesterday. Had you seen them, O my masters ! When the night began to fall, And the English spearmen gathered Round a grim and ghastly wall ! As the wolves in winter circle Round the leaguer on the heath, So the greedy foe glared upward, Panting still for blood...
Trang 109 - Yet because there hath grown offence, and some slander to the Church by lack of discreet and sober behaviour in many ministers of the Church, both in choosing of their wives and indiscreet living with them, the remedy whereof is necessary to be sought, it is thought therefore very necessary, that no manner of priest or deacon shall hereafter take to his wife any manner of woman without the advice and allowance first had upon good examination...
Trang 7 - ... kin. There was no fleet so proud, there was no host so strong, as to seek food in England, while this noble king ruled the kingdom. He reared up God's honour, he loved God's law, he preserved the people's peace, the best of all the kings that were before in the memory of man.

Trang 43 - English spearmen gathered Round a grim and ghastly wall ! As the wolves in winter circle Round the leaguer on the heath, So the greedy foe glared upward, Panting still for blood and death. But a rampart rose before them, Which the boldest dared not scale ; Every stone a Scottish body, Every step a corpse in mail ! And behind it lay our monarch Clenching still his shivered sword : By his side Montrose and Athole, At his feet a southern lord.

Trang 38 - saith he, ' in which the lion stands Is blood, and blood I offer to the hands Of daring foes ; but never shall my flight Dye black my lion, which as yet is white.' His enemies (like cunning huntsmen) strive In binding snares to take their prey alive, While he desires t' expose his naked breast And thinks the sword that deepest strikes is best.
Trang 13 - But the rigour of these new constitutions vested the sole property of all the game in England in the king alone; and no man was entitled to disturb any fowl of the air, or any beast of the field, of such kinds as were specially reserved for the royal amusement of the sovereign, without express licence from the king, by a grant of a chase or free warren: and those franchises were granted as much with a view to preserve the breed of animals, as to indulge the subject.
Trang 39 - His enemies (like cunning huntsmen) strive In binding snares to take their prey alive, While he desires t' expose his naked breast And thinks the sword that deepest strikes is best. Young Howard, single, with an army fights, When, moved with pity, two renowned knights — Strong Clarendon and valiant Conyers — try To rescue him, in which attempt they die. Now Surrey, fainting, scarce his sword can hold...
