When as the King to Crowne this glorious day, Now bids his Souldiers after all this toyle, (No forces found that more might them dismay) Of the dead French to take the gen'rall spoyle, Whose heapes had well neere stopt vp eu'ry way; For eu'n as Clods they cou'red all the soyle, Commanding none should any one controle, Catch that catch might, but each man to his dole.
