[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 aequis

T [...]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 Marte

Commiscere audet, glandis transfigitur ictu.

Omne genus telorum ad caedem immittitur atram.
