Earl patrick then to Berwick can perfue.
Received he was. and trufted very true:
The king followed with his men of renown,
After midnight at reft was all the town.
Corfpatrick rofe, the keys well he knew,
Let bridges down, and portculzies they drew;
Edward entered, and caus'd flay haftily,
Of men and women, eight thoufand and fifty;
And children too, by this falfe adventure.
Of true Scots efcaped no creature
A captain there this falfe king hath made,
Toward Dunbar without refting the rade.
