Who knowes not Mighels mount and chaire,
The Pilgrims holy vaunt:
Both land, and Iland, twise a day,
Both fort, and port of haunt.
Vnder the mount extendeth a bay, for lesser vessels to lie at:
and betweene it and the Westerne shoare, there is an indifferent
good road for shipping, sauing vpon some winds, called the
Mounts bay: where, by Froissarts report, Sir Robert Knolles landed,
what time his returne out of Fraunce, was by K. Ed. the 3. commaunded,
and for his valiant exployts there, atchieued, very graciously
welcomed.
Ouer-against the Mount, fronteth a towne, of petty fortune,
pertinently named Marcaiew, of Marhas diow, in English,
the Thursdaies market; for then it vseth this traffike.
At the beginning of K. H. the 8. raigne, it felt the Frenchmens
fiery indignation, who landed there with 30.
