...........Excerpt from p1 ballad.........
Thither came the duke of Norfolk upon a day,
and the earl of Surrey that was his heir;
The earl of Kent was not away,
The earl of Shrewsbury brown as bear.

The Lord Stanley both stern and stout,
Two 'battles' that day had he
Of hardy men, withouten doubt
Better were not in Christenty.

Sir William, wise and worthy,
Was hindmost at the outsetting;
Men said that day that did him see,
He came betime unto our King.
