Bastide, o. c

4. Gallus hath been this summer-time in Friescland, And now return'd he ^peaks such warlike words As if I could their English understand,

I fear me they would eut my throat like swords.

He talks of counterscarffs and casomates,

Of parapets, of curleynes, and pallizadois,

Of flankersj ravelings, gabions he prates.

And of false biaies, and sallies, and scaUdoes ;John Davies, Epigr., circa, 1599).
