[1] Sent back.
[2] If any troubles should arise.
[3] Worthy.
[4] Without equal in this kingdom.

For I have men and meat enough,
They know I am a fighter tough,
And will be right soon grieved;
When they have lost as many teeth,
As they did at the siege of Leith,
They will be fain to leave it.
Then who, I pray you, shall be bound
Their losses to make good?
Or give such composition
As they got then of France?
Thus blinded, beguiled,
They will but get a cheat;
Come they here, these two years
They shall not miss their thrashing.
[6] clamour.
[7] afraid.
