YOu that be desirous, and therein take delight: To h[e]are of bloudie battailes, and worthy warlike fight, To Flaunders bend your ears a while and you shall truely know, How valliantly our Noble friends, their foes did overthow. The Archduke of Austria, that bloudy Spanish Lord: Like Judas hath converted, his booke into a sword. To plant by cursed Popery, in Flaunders now againe: to bring the Queen of Englands friends in servitude to Spaine. But Noble Prince, Grave Maurice, his purpose to prevent: Hath entred famous Flaunders, to warlike battle bent: With fifteene thousand horse and foote, prepared well to fight: At Phillipeena landed first, the twelfe of June by night. From thence a long to Oldenbirdge, they marched on a maine: And cut of all the best reliefe, quite from the hoast of Spaine. All the sconces and the Fortes, that by the way they found, Belonging to the Spanish power, they raced to the ground. And so to Newport marched, with thundring lowde allarmes: And there besiegde it bravely, by force of warlike armes. The Cannons plaide up to the walles the muskets shot amaine: As though that Mars himselfe were come to fight or else be slaine. By this he heard the Archduke, was coming for to raise His siedge, with full ten thousand, resting neither night nor dayes. Whereat the States Generall, did choose a Regiment: Of nimble Scotch and hardy Dutch, their comming to prevent. To Count Ernestus of Nassaw committed them in charge: About foure miles from Newport, to fortifie a Bridge. Who failed much therein, because the Duke had past the same: Before Ernestus Regiments, all softly thether came.
The Scotch-men were all cut off, and put to slaughter quite: But yet the Dutchmen hapned, to save themselves by flight. The which imboldned so the foe that he went forward still: Without all daunger of assault, or fearing any ill. Upon the foure and twenty day, they planted on a plaine: Eight great Canons soundly chargde a battle to maintaine. Whereat the Princely Generall, the siedge did soone forsake: And marcht to meete the Archduke, the better ground to take. Sir Frances Veere directed him, his squadrons to dispose: How best for his advantage, should set upon his foes. Nine Noble English Gentlemen, the first encounter gave: With as much honour and renowne, as any Prince might have. But yet before this battell strong, betwixt them were begun: they strove at least ful two houres long for weather, winde and sunne. At last Duke Alberts warlike drums did thunder in the skies: whereat Prince Maurice stird himself and thus couragious cryes. For Flaunders, and for England, brave gallants must we fight: In his defence and quarrell, that is the God of might. To armes I say then gallant lads, let nothing us dismay: Against professed foes we fight, and hope to win the day. Which wordes did so imbolden, them of the common sort; That every one esteemde, the battle for a sport. Where though they saw an hundred slaine by one great Cannon shot: Yet none of them in feare thereof, from thence would moove a foote. Full foure long houres continued, this blacke and dreadfull fight: That both sides well maintained, with courage and great might. The Cannons made such lanes of men that soldiours wetshood stood: As they discharg'd their Musket shot, in pooles of purple blood.
The sunne with smoke was darkned, the element likewise: That like a dismall cole blacke night, appeared all the skies. Like mountaines dead men lay on heapes most greevous to beholde: By numbers great and infinite, past reason to be tolde. At last the fearfull enemy, from field began to flye: Whereat our English Captaines, saint George saint George did cry, The battle's won, the day is ours, take courage by this chance: And in the honour of this day, our English Crosse advance. Then foure miles they pursued, the Spaniards in their flight: still slaughtering them by thousands, and so returnde by night. To Newport backe with warlike joy the siedge for to renew: And drive the Spaniards from the towne with balles of fiery hew. In this same dreadfull battle, the Spanish Duke had slaine: Above five thousand at the least, most heavy newes for Spaine. One thousand more they prisoners took with all three Spanish Lords: Which were by force compeld to yeeld them prisoners to our swordes. The Duke himselfe as chaunced, was hurt with Musket shot: And in such sort as hardly he, alive to Brussels got. His Cannons they were taken all, his Treasure and his Plate: Which be good prises, and esteemde, well of the Flemish state. A hundred fiftye Ensignes, were taken on that day, All which may be sufficient the Spaniards to dismay. And never more have so bould harts, in warre to lift their handes: Against our noble English friendes, now in the Netherlandes. Of English, Scots and Dutchmen, we had some store yslaine, But few they were in number to them that fought for Spaine Few chosen captaines we had hurt, but brave Lord Graye in fight And bould sir Frances of Deveere, that most renowned knight. Who had bene slaine or smoothered amongst the mained men, Had not sir Robert Drewrie most bravely playd the man, Who from the thickest of the fight bore him from thence away A nobler deed then this was not perform'd of all that daye. Thus have you hearde the service of these our English friendes, That stil with losse of life and limmes the Flemish state defends. God banish thence idolatrie, that English men may say: That stil we have inspight of Spaine some frendes beyond the sea.
