Francis James Child

“ This seeing, cries the king to his guards without delay,
Call Devonshire down! take the dead man away!
'No,' says brave Devonshire, 'I've fought him as a man;
Since he's dead, I will keep the trophies I have won.
For he fought me in your armour, while I fought him bare,
And the same you must win back, my liege, if ever you them wear.
'God bless the Church of England! may it prosper on each hand,
And also every poor man now starving in this land. ”
