Anno Reg. 7. Orleance be|sieged. Bastard of Orleance.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 After the siege had continued full thrée weekes, the bastard of Orleance issued out of the gate of the bridge; and fought with the Englishmen; but they re|ceiued him with so fierce and terrible strokes, that he was with all his companie compelled to retire and flee backe into the citie. But the Englishmen follow|ed so fast, in killing and taking of their enimies, that they entered with them.A bulworke at Orleance taken. ¶ The bulworke of the bridge, with a great tower standing at the end of the same, was taken incontinentlie by the Englishmen, who behaued themselues right valiantlie vnder the conduct of their couragious capteine, Abr. Fl. as at this as|sault, so in diuerse skirmishes against the French; partlie to kéepe possession of that which Henrie the fift had by his magnanimitie & puissance atchiued, as also to inlarge the same. But all helped not. For who can hold that which will awaie? In so much that some cities by fraudulent practises, othersome by martiall prowesse were recouered by the French, to the great discouragement of the English and the ap|palling of their spirits; whose hope was now dashed partlie by their great losses and discomfitures (as af|ter you shall heare) but chéeflie by the death of the late deceassed Henrie their victorious king; as Chr. Ok|land verie truelie and agréeable to the storie noteth:
Dolphinus, comitésque eius fera praelia tentant,Fraude domi capi [...]nt alias, virtute receptaeSunt vrbes aliae qu [...]dam, sublapsa referturAnglûm spes retrò, languescere pectora dicas,Quippe erat Henricus quintus, dux strenuus olim,Mortuus: hinc damni grauior causa atque doloris.
