" Thus did the Kentish commons ciy unto their leaders still, And so marched forth in warlike sort and stood on Swanscombe Hill, THE MED WAT. 217 Where in the woods they hid themselves under the shady gi-een, Thereby to get them vantage good, of all their foes unseen.
And for the conqueror's coming there, they privily laid wait, And thereby suddenly appalled his lofty high conceit.
" God send we may do as much by the Dutch, " said Will Gaff. "We have no green wood here, but we have a snug coveri...ng of inishes and brushwood ; and if some spy do not prate we shall take Mynheer by surprise as we rattle into the bows of the first ship that comes up" ... " Or that goes down, " said Walter ; "for our battery cannot be ready until to-morrow, and we must not throw away powder and shot, or let them know where we be until we can make the report with good effect. They ma}^ not come further this tide, for it is turning, aiid they will not try by night. " " Not they ! " said Will.
