Compare 1577 edition: 1 Wherevpon the lord admerall meaning to re|uenge their brauados, and presumptuous attempts made at Portesmouth, and in the Ile of Wight, ap|proched to the coasts of Normandie, and landed with six thousand men at Treport, burnt the suburbes of that towne, with the abbeie, and certeine villages and houses thereabouts. Also they destroied thirtie ships, and a barke there found in the hauen: and after they had wrought their pleasures, they returned to the sea, and so home, not hauing lost past fourtéene persons in the execution of this whole enterprise. Of this great spoile & ouerthrow giuen at Treport, by the kings admerall, I find these verses remembred:
—Treportem passibus aequisT [...]eporte oppi|dum Galliae ma|ritimum à Iohanne Dud|leio praefecto re|giae clas [...]is diri|pitur & flam|mis absumitur. Ordine seruato (qui mus est militis) intrant:Obuius vt quisque est, is stricto sternitur ense,Ast alius volucri traiectus membra sagitta,Occidit exanguis, foedátque cruore plateas.Dum reclusa alius vult prospectare fenestra,Nec conferre pedem, nec aperto praelia MarteCommiscere audet, glandis transfigitur ictu.Omne genus telorum ad caedem immittitur atram.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 In this meane while monsieur de Biez, being in|camped néere to Bullogne with such a puissant ar|mie (as before you haue heard) busied about the buil|ding of a fort, there was not such diligence vsed ther|in, as was promised on his part in accomplishing the same, to the French kings great displeasure (as some write) who had meant with that armie (if this fort had béene finished at the appointed time) to haue gone to besiege the towne and castell of Guisnes: but now the time being prolonged, and not without some suspicion least monsieur de Biez cared not how long the warres indured in that sort, so as he might command ouer so manie princes and great lords as were there vnder his gouernance, at length before the fort were fullie finished, he remooued to mount Lambert with the more part of the armie, preten|ding as though he meant to fight with the English|men, the which (as he said) he vnderstood were purpo|sed to come with a conuoie of vittels from Calis to Bullogne.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 Whilest he there remained, manie princes and great lords came from the court, that laie at an ab|beie called forrest Montier, eleuen leagues from Bullogne beyond Muttrell, on the waie towards Abuille, in hope that battell should haue followed be|wixt the English and French armies. Among other that came thither are these remembred as principall, monsieur Danguien, monsieur Daumalle, mon|sieur le duc de Neuers, monsieur le conte de La|uall, and monsieur de la Trimouille. Monsieur Dau|malle eldest sonne to the duke of Guise, being lod|ged in the vantgard that was gouerned by monsieur de Brissac, chanced on a daie to be present at a skir|mish, where shewing himselfe verie forward, he was striken through the sight of his helmet, with a light horssemans staffe, that pearsing in betwixt his nose and his eie, entred halfe a foot into his head, as mon|sieur de Langeie writeth,Martin de Bellaie, seig|neur Langeie in his memo [...]|res. and breaking off a two sin|gers beneath the iron, the same iron remained still within his head: but yet escaping out of the English mens hands, he came backe to the campe, had the truncheon and iron pulled out of his head, and being dressed was conueied in a litter to Piquignie, where he laie for two or thrée daies in such danger, that no man looked that he should haue escaped with life.
