Sir William Russell, too, all blood-stained from the fight, threw his arms around his friend, wept like a child, and kissing his hand, exclaimed, "Oh! noble Sir Philip, never did man attain hurt so honourably or serve so valiantly as you." Sir William Pelham declared "that Sidney's noble courage in the face of our enemies had won him a name of continuing honour." The wounded gentleman was borne back to the camp, and thence in a barge to Arnheim.

The fight was over.

Sir John Norris bade Lord Leicester "be merry, for," said he, "you have had the honourablest day.

A handful of men has driven the enemy three times to retreat." But, in truth, it was now time for the English to retire in their turn.

Their reserve never arrived.
