Whore six-and-thirty Scottish knights On a day were beaten down; Glendale glittered with their armour bright, O'er castie, tower, and town. 41. (This was the hunting of the Cheviot; That tear began this spurn; Old men, that knew the ground well enough, Call it the battle of Otterburn. 42. At. Otterburn began this spurn Upon a Monday; There was the doughty Douglas slain, The Percy never went away.) 38. Salus sit animee, inquit Rex, Si ita placeat deo! Sunt pares fortitudine Centum duces regno meo; Sed tamen Scotos puniara Pro nobili Pers&so. 39. Et Homilduni fortis rex Patravit id quod dixit; Uhi propter caesura comitem Cum hostibus conflix.it. 40. Ubi quater novem equites Scoti simul periere; Glendalse turres castraque Sparsis armis micuere. 41. Et causam-dedit praelii Venatio Cheviata; Pugna, loci gnaris senibus, Otterburni esl vocata. 42. Otterburni die Lume sic Incepi hie venatus; Ibi Persaeus cecidit, Et Douglasus est stratus. Bp. Percy suspects these two verses, 41, 42, to be spurious. So do I, as they stand at present; but I think we might make a good verse out of the two; thus: This was the hunting of the Cheviot, Upon a Monday; There was the doughty Douglas slain, The Percy never went away. This will get off the confusion with regard to the battle of Otterburn, and the strange language of these verses. Percy's interpretation of " That tear began this spurn," is, "That tearing or pulling occasioned this spurn or kick." I have followed him, though I confess I am not satisfied with it.--W. M. i. e.
