Reliques of Ancient English Poetry vol ii p	A
	-
	-
When captaines couragious whom death cold not daunte	B
Did march to the siege of the citty of Gaunt	B
They mustred their souldiers by two and by three	A
And the formost in battle was Mary Ambree	A
	-
When the brave sergeant major was slaine in her sight	B
Who was her true lover her joy and delight	B
Because he was slaine most treacherouslie	C
Then vowd to revenge him Mary Ambree	A
	-
She clothed herselfe from the top to the toe	B
In buffe of the bravest most seemelye to showe	D
A faire shirt of male then slipped on shee	E
Was not this a brave bonny lasse Mary Ambree	A
	-
A helmett of proofe shee strait did provide	B
A stronge arminge sword shee girt by her side	B
On her hand a goodly faire gauntlett put shee	E
Was not this a brave bonny lasse Mary Ambree	A
	-
Then tooke shee her sworde and her targett in hand	B
Bidding all such as wold to bee of her band	B
To wayte on her person came thousand and three	A
Was not this a brave bonny lasse Mary Ambree	A
	-
My soldiers she saith soe valliant and bold	B
Nowe followe your captaine whom you doe beholde	B
Still formost in battell myselfe will I bee	A
Was not this a brave bonny lasse Mary Ambree	A
	-
Then cryed out her souldiers and loude they did say	F
Soe well thou becomest this gallant array	F
Thy harte and thy weapons so well do agree	A
No mayden was ever like Mary Ambree	A
	-
She cheared her souldiers that foughten for life	G
With ancyent and standard with drum and with fife	G
With brave clanging trumpetts that sounded so free	A
Was not this a brave bonny lasse Mary Ambree	A
	-
Before I will see the worst of you all	C
To come into danger of death or of thrall	C
This hand and this life I will venture so free	A
Was not this a brave bonny lasse Mary Ambree	A
	-
Shee ledd upp her souldiers in battaile array	A
Gainst three times theyr number by breake of the daye	A
Seven howers in skirmish continued shee	E
Was not this a brave bonny lasse Mary Ambree	A
	-
She filled the skyes with the smoke of her shott	B
And her enemyes bodyes with bulletts so hott	B
For one of her own men a score killed shee	E
Was not this a brave bonny lasse Mary Ambree	A
	-
And when her false gunner to spoyle her intent	B
Away all her pellets and powder had sent	B
Straight with her keen weapon she slasht him in three	A
Was not this a brave bonny lasse Mary Ambree	A
	-
Being falselye betrayed for lucre of hyre	A
At length she was forced to make a retyre	A
Then her souldiers into a strong castle drew shee	E
Was not this a brave bonny lasse Mary Ambree	A
	-
Her foes they besett her on everye side	B
As thinking close siege shee cold never abide	B
To beate down the walles they all did decree	A
But stoutlye deffyd them brave Mary Ambree	A
	-
Then tooke shee her sword and her targett in hand	B
And mounting the walls all undaunted did stand	B
There daring their captaines to match any three	A
O what a brave captaine was Mary Ambree	A
	-
Now saye English captaine what woldest thou give	H
To ransome thy selfe which else must not live	I
Come yield thy selfe quicklye or slaine thou must bee	A
Then smiled sweetlye brave Mary Ambree	A
	-
Ye captaines couragious of valour so bold	B
Whom thinke you before you now you doe behold	B
A knight sir of England and captaine soe free	A
Who shortlye with us a prisoner must bee	A
	-
No captaine of England behold in your sight	B
Two brests in my bosome and therefore no knight	B
Noe knight sirs of England nor captaine you see	A
But a poor simple mayden called Mary Ambree	A
	-
But art thou a woman as thou dost declare	A
Whose valor hath proved so undaunted in warre	A
If England doth yield such brave maydens as thee	A
Full well mey they conquer faire Mary Ambree	A
	-
The Prince of Great Parma heard of her renowne	J
Who long had advanced for England's fair crowne	J
Hee wooed her and sued her his mistress to bee	A
And offered rich presents to Mary Ambree	A
	-
But this virtuous mayden despised them all	C
'Ile nere sell my honour for purple nor pall	C
A maiden of England sir never will bee	A
The wench of a monarcke quoth Mary Ambree	A
	-
Then to her owne country shee back did returne	J
Still holding the foes of rare England in scorne	J
Therfore English captaines of every degree	A
Sing forth the brave valours of Mary Ambree	A
