PIERCY AND DOUGLAS.
on THE
Hunting in Chevy-Chance.
God prosper long our noble king,
Our lives and safeties all;
' A wotul Hunting once there did
In Chevy-Chace befall.
To drive the deer with bound and horn,
Earl Piercy took his way;
The child may rue that is unborn
The hunting oi that day.
The stout Earl of Northumberland
A vow to God did make,
His pleasure in the Scottish woods
Three Summer’s days to take;
The chiefeat hurts in Chevy-Chace
To kill and hear away:
The tidings to Earl Douglas came,
In Scotland where he lay.
Who sent Earl Piercy present word,-
He would prevent his sport;
The English Earl not fearing this,
Did to the woods resort,
With fifteen hundred bow-men bold,
All chosen men of might,
Who knew full well in time of need ,
To aim their shafts aright.
The gallant greyhounds swiftly ran,
To chase the fallow deer;
Ou Monday they began to hunt,
When daylight did appear.
And long before high noon they had
An hundred fat bucks slain;
Then having din’d, the drovers went
To rouse them up again. .
The bow-men muster’d on the hills,
Well able to endure;
Their backsides all, with special care,
That day were guarded sure.
The hounds ran swiftly thro‘ the woods,
The nimble deer to take,
And with their cries the hills and doles
An echo shrill did make. ~
Lord Piercy to the quarry went,
To view the tender deer;
I Quoth he, “Earl Douglas promised
This day to meet me here. '
“If that I thought he would not come,
No longer would I stay."
With that, a brave young gentleman
Thus to the Earl did say;
“Lo, yonder doth Earl Douglas come,
His men in armour bright ;
Full twenty hundred Scottish spears,
All marching in our sight.
“All men of pleasant Tividale,
Fast by the river Tweed:’,
“Then cease your sport, ” Earl Piercy said,
“And take your bows with speed
“And now with me, my countrymen,
Your courage forth advance;
For never was there champion yet
In Scotland or in France,
“That ever did on horseback come,
But since my hap it were,
I durst encounter man for man,
With him to break a spear.”
Earl Douglas on his milk-white steed,
Most like a baron bold,
Rode lormost oi the company,
Whose armour shone like gold.
“Show me,” he said, “whose men ye be,
That hunt so boldly here,
That, without my consent, do chase
And kill my fallow deer.”
The man that first did answer make
Was noble Piercy he;
Who said, “We list not to declare '
Nor show whose men we be.
"Yet we will spend our dearest blood,
Thy chiefest hurts to slay."
Then Douglas swore a solemn oath,
And thus in rage did say:
' Ere thus I will out—braved be,
One of us two shall die; _
I .know thee well, an earl thou art;
' Lord Piercy, so am I.
“But trust me, Piercy, pitty it were,“
And great offense, to kill
Any of these our harmless men. .
For they have done no ill.
Let then and I the hattel try,
And setour men aside :"
“Accurs’d babe," Lord Piercy said,
"By whom this is deny’d”
Then slept a gallant squire forth,
(Witherington was his name,) _
Who said, ”I would not 1111‘ '
‘ To Henry our king, for-
“That 11’ re my captains r011; we "
And I stood looking on: ‘ .
You be two earls,” said Witherington',
“And I a squire alone. .
“I‘ll do the best that do I may,“
While I have power to stand,
While I have power to wield my 11110111;
I’ll fightswith heart and hand. "
Our English archers beat their bows,
Their hearts were good and true;
At the first flight of arrows sent,
Full three-score Scots they slew.
To drive the deer with hound and horn,
Earl Douglas had the bent;
- A captain mov‘d with miekle pride
The spears to shiver sent.
They clos’d lull fast onBvery side,
N0 slackness there was found;
And many a gallant gentleman
Lay gasping on the ground.
Alas i it was s grief to see,
And likewise for to hear,
The cries of men lying‘ In their gore,
And scatter’d here and there.
At last these tWo stout earls did met-l.
Like captains of great might;
Like lions mov‘d they laid on load,
And made a cruel fight. I
They fought until they 110111 did sweat,
With swords of tempered steel;
Until the blood, like drops of rain,
They trickling down did feel.
“Yield thee, Lord Piercy," Douglas said,_
“In faith I will thee bring ' ‘
Where thou shalt high advanced be
1 By James, our Scottish Kingnl'
“Thy ransom I will freely give,‘
And thus report of thee,
Thou art the most courageous knight
That ever I did see."
To Douglas quoth Earl Piercy then,
“Thy profi‘er I do scorn; ~
I will not yield toauy Scot
That ever yet was born."_
With that, there came an arrow keen
Out of an English bow,
Which struck Earl Douglas to the‘ heart,
A deep and deadly blow;
Who never spoke more words than these :
. “Fight ou,my merry men all ;
~For why, my life is at an end,
Earl Piercy sees myfall."
Then leaving life, Earl Piercy took
Thedead man by the hand,
And; said; “Earl Douglas, for thy life
Would I had lost my-landl
Alas l my very heart doth bleed I
With sorrow for thy sake;
_ For sure, a more renowned knight ,
Mischance did never take."
A knight amongst the Scots thero was
Which saw Earl Douglas.die,
Who straight in wrath did vow avenge
Upon the Earl Piercy:
Sir Hugh Montgomery was he called,
Who, with a spear most bright,
Well mounted on a gallant steed.
Ran fiercely thro' the fight;
And p'ass’d the English archers all,
Without all dread or fear,
And thro’ Eurl Piercy’ s body then
» He thrust his hateful‘spear.
With such w h'ment force and might
He did 1is body gore,
The 8111'. .u- went through the other side
A large cloth-yard and more.
So then am both these nobles die,
Whose courage none could staia- ,
An English archer then perceiv’d
The noble Earl was slain:
He had a bow bent in his hand,
Made of a tasty tree;
An arrow of a cloth-yard long
Up to the head drew he.
Against Sir Hugh Montgomery
So right his shaft he set,
The gray goose-wing that was thereon
- In his heart's blood was wet.
NThe fight did last from break _of day
a
Till setting of the sun;
For when they rung the evening bell
The battel scarce was done.
With the Earl Piercy, there was slain
Sir John of Ogerton,
Sir Robert Ratclifl‘, and Sir John,
Sir J amen-that bold baron;
And with Sir George and good Sir James,
Both knights of good account, .
Good Sir Ralph Robby, there was slain,
Whose prowess did surmount.
For Witheriugton needs must I wall,
As one in doletul dumps;
' For when his legs were smitten off,
He fought upon his stumps.
And with Earl Douglas, there was slain
Sir Hugh Montgomery,
Sir Charles Carrel, that from the field
One inch would never fiy.
Sir Charles Mom], of Ratelifi', too,
His sister‘ a son was he, ~
Sir David Lamb,” well esteem'd,
'Yet saved could not be.
And the Lord Markwell in likewilie
Did with Earl Douglas die;
Oi twenty hundred Scottish spears
Scarce fifty-five did fiy..
Of fifteenhnndred Englishmen
Went home but fifty three;
The rest were slain in Chevy‘Chace,
Under the green-wood tree.
Next day did many widows come,
Their husbands to bewail;
They washed their wounds in briny tears,-
But all would not prevail.
Their bodies bath’d in purple blood,
They bore with them away ,
They kiss'd them dead a thousand times,
When they were clad in clay.
This news was brought to Edinburgh,
Where Scotland’s king did reign,
That brave Earl Douglas suddenly
Was with an arrow slain. , i .+
“0 heavy news, ” King James did say,
“Scotland can witnessbe, _
I have not-any captain more . .

Like tidings to King Henry came,
Within as short a space.
That Piercy of Northumberland
Was slain in Chevy-Chaos.
“Now (ind be with him," said our King
“Since ‘twill no better be; -
ltrust I have within my reulm'
Five hundred as good as he.
" 'Y1 1 shall not Scot nor Scotland say
But I will vengeance take, ' '
And be revenged on them all, '
For brave Lord Piercy’s sake."
This vow full Well the King perform'd,

. [In one'duy fifty knights were slain,

And of the rest, of small amount
Did many thousands die , -
Thus ended the Hunting of Chevy- Ghace,

“And Jonathan, Saul's son, arose, and
went to David into the wood, and strength-

2nd. You. are under personal abligalion
to fill the circle of your opportunity wit/1
service, performed in the spirit of Christ.
The simple statement of this truth, is
sufficient, I am' sure, to secure its ready
acceptance. If you admit that the ser-
- vice is of Divine'appointment,‘ you accept
as a. necessary consequence, the Divine
authority of the obligation to perform it.
With most of you, I trust, it is enough to
know what God requires. When Daniel
Webster'wus once asked, “what is the
most important thought that ever occu-
pied‘ your mind," his reply was as follows;
“The'iaost important thought that ever
occupied my mind is that of my individu-
al accountability to God.” Young men,
the weight of obligation presses upon in
It can not be transferred. It.
can not be shaken off. Itzisnot lessened ,
by indlfl‘crellce, nor removed by unwil-
lingness to bear it. Bear it manfully,
' and use the prayer of the Psalmist,
“Teach me to do My will, Oh, my God.”
If now, you will accept the full weight
of your obligation and fill the entire cir-
cle of your opportunity with such servi-
cc 1151 Jmmthuu rendered David, you will
need courage.
It was a. venture requiring courage, a
venture bordering Cu rashness, for Soul’s
son to go and minister to David in the
wilderness of Ziph. The son would
thwart. his father's purposes and neutral-
ize his ell'ol'ta. The endeavors of both
have 1h..- snlne objective end, but an op-
posile subjective aim. Ills so now, and
