Side 280 - The saide Robert entertained an hundred tall men and good archers with such spoiles and thefts as he got, upon whom four hundred (were they ever so strong) durst" not give the onset. He suffered no woman to be oppressed, violated, or otherwise molested : poore mens goods he spared, abundantlie relieving them with that which by theft he got from abbeys and the houses of rich carles : whom Maior (the historian) blameth for his rapine and theft, but of all theeves he affirmeth him to be the prince,...
Side 225 - Twist thou and twine! in light and gloom A spell is on thine hand; The wind shall be thy changeful loom, Thy web, the shifting sand. Twine from this hour, in ceaseless toil, On Blackrock's* sullen shore; Till cordage of the sand shall coil Where crested surges roar.

Side 279 - John, renowned theeves, continued in woods, despoyling and robbing the goods of the rich. They killed none but such as would invade them ; or by resistance for their own defence.
