"If that my foes should this possess, It were a grief to me; My friends welfare is my riches, And chief felicity. "Give place with speed, and fare you well, Christ, shield you from mischief; If that it otherwise befel, It would be my great grief." Their foes so fiercely follow'd on, It was no biding there; Lockwood, with speed, he went anon, To his friends where they were. With haste then towards Huddersfield, They held their ready way; Adam of Beaumont the way he held, To Crossland hall that day.[57] When Eland men returned home, Through Annely-wood that day; There found they Quarmby laid alone, Scarce dead, so some men say. And then they slew him out of hand, Dispatch'd him of his pain; The late death of their lord Eland Inforced them certain. "Learn, Savile, here, I you beseech, That in prosperity You be not proud, but mild and meek, And dwell in charity; "For by such means your elders came To knightly dignity; Where Eland then forsook the same, And came to misery. "Mark here the breach of charity, How wretchedly it ends; Mark here how much felicity On charity depends. "A speech it is to ev'ry wight Please God who may or can; It wins always with great delight, The heart of every man. "Where charity withdraws the heart From sorrow and sighs deep; Right heavy makes it many a heart, And many an eye to weep. "You gentlemen, love one another, Love well the yeomanry; Count ev'ry Christian man his brother, And dwell in charity. "Then shall it come to pass truly, That all men you shall love; And after death then shall you be In heav'n with God above. "To whom always, of ev'ry wight, Throughout all years and days; In heav'n and earth, both day and night, Be honour, laud, and praise."
