Tis meet that I should tell you now,How fairly armed, and ordered how,The soldiers of the guard,With musket, pike, and morion,To welcome noble Marmion,Stood in the castle-yard;Minstrels and trumpeters were there,The gunner held his linstock yare,For welcome-shot prepared:Entered the train, and such a clang,As then through all his turrets rang,Old Norham never heard.
