      Art thou that villaine in whoſe damned mouth, / Was neuer heard of any woꝛd but woundes? / Whoſe recreant limbes are nocht with gaping ſcarres, / Thicker then any carking craft-mans ſkoꝛe, / Whoſe very ſkalpe is ſcratcht and craſde and bꝛoken, / Like an old mazzer beaten on the ſtones, / And ſtandſt thou now to ſaue our maimed men? / A plague vppon thee coward.
