 All kind of ware the Danes might thither bring, 

 It was free ground and cal'de the Britaine's ftrength. 

 Wat's dyke likewife, about the fame was fet, 

 Betweene which two, the Danes and Britaine's met 

 And traffic (till, but paffing bounds by fleight, 

 The one did take the other pris'ner ftreight.*
