[1] Sent back.

[2] If any troubles should arise.

[3] Worthy.

[4] Without equal in this kingdom.

For I have men and meat enough,
They know I am a fighter tough,

And will be right soon grieved;

When they have lost as many teeth,
As they did at the siege of Leith,

They will be fain to leave it.

Then who, I pray you, shall be bound

Their losses to make good?

Or give such composition

As they got then of France?

Thus blinded, beguiled,

They will but get a cheat;

Come they here, these two years

They shall not miss their thrashing.

[6] clamour.

[7] afraid.
