as from a fartile feeld Whiche to relate in this discourse I deme it not amisse Because I iudge the same to shewe a pleasant storie is And to beginne with Marses knight that mightie man of of warre Whose fame might not suffice the worlde but peerst the highest Starre Who now though shrowded in the yearth with bodie tournd to claye Yet euer liuyng with the iuste and shall from daie to daie Who neuer made his backe retourne once enterde in the feeld Till he had made the stoutest foes their stately Scepters yeeld And brought by Marciall force of armes their honour to the duste By pluckyng doune their cheefest staies whereon their hope did truste Prince Arthure is that noble kyng whose fame and greate reporte Stirde vp the Nobles of the worlde to seeke vnto his Courte This is the Prince whose courage stout his credite did aduaunce This is the man that raignde as Kyng in Britaine and in Fraunce This is the knight whose bloodie blade obtained Caesars Croune This is the man that brought at laste the haughtie Romanes doune This is that thrice renowmed knight whom stories doe commende This is the Prince whose fame and name Dame honour doeth defende Thus here of this victorious knight I make a small ende And to the kyngs of like renowne in later yeres descende Wherefore attentiue Lordyngs bee your listnyng eares to fill For breefly of them will I speake accordyng to my skill And as with Arthure I beganne so will I here proceade To write of Henries noble name the seconde as I reade To shewe his magnanimitie in wrightyngs comprehended And other graces specially in Chronicles remembred For he it is whiche mightily augments our Countries fame And in his tyme moste roially defended eke thesame He is that seconde Salomon as writynges doe importe Whiche filde all corners of the worlde with fame of his reporte Whiche moude bothe Kyngs Emperours and Princes farre and neare To drawe vnto his noble Court his wisedome for to heare For why his domes were purely giuen in matters of debate He was an vmpere equally to euery kinde of state He forste not principallitie nor yet regarded might In eu'ry cause especially respected he the right For whiche his actions purely doen by wisedomes rules approued Of Princes Kynges and Emperours he highly was beloued Thus was he counted in his daies the wisest vnder Sonne Through Europe and beyonde those partes so farre his fame did ronne And as for his possessions so largely thei extended As neuer Prince before nor since had like as is remembred O Kyng these thynges assuredly deserue to be enrolde And grauen in tables sumptuously made all of beaten golde But did the glorie of the Realme from thence forth ginne to cease Or did it not like the Lawrell tree in freshnesse still increase Did not the Princes of the same by Marciall actes maintaine The garlande of immortall fame that others earst did gaine Goe looke and searche the monumentes and there you shall beholde That there their names emong the beste dame Honour hath enrolde There shall you see the famous Prince in prease of worthies stande Euen cheeke by cheeke to mightie Mars with dreadfull sworde in hande There shall you see dame Honour braue amide the golden raies This noble prices banner vaunce to his eternall praise Prince Edward is that noble Knight the third Kyng of that name Approued in the Misteries of Marses warlike game This is the Prince whose roiall acts were knowne by sea and lande This is the knight whose presence durste no forraine Kyng withstande This is the prince whose cōquryng sworde possest a double Croune This is the manne that made his foes on euery side come doune This is the manne whose valiant harte for triall of his right Did proffer gainst the Romishe Pope euen hande to hande to fight But durste the Popes heroicall harte take thoffer of the Kyng No no the foole was wise enough he feard an other thyng He knewe that if he had assaied to tempt hym in his rage That captiue should he yeeld hym self or leaue his harte to gage Wherefore to saue his credite then he knewe no waie but one Whiche was to take the Keyes and leaue the sworde to hym a lone For Peter needes must silence keepe when Paule steppes forthe in place And knowe we not how Paule withstoode sainct Peter to his face This thyng importes a misterie of whiche here to dispute I purpose not but leaue the same for others to confute Yet might I saie my minde therein as some before haue doen But that I see the daie forbiddes and tyme is almoste ronne I see how Nox her self applies to shade sir Phebus light But let the toothlesse crabbed queane boyle in her owne despight Yea let her euer frettyng liue and pinyng fade awaie A iuste reward for suche a drabbe her mallice to bewraie But as for Phebe you holie ones graunt he maie flourishe still And to the endyng of my worke Lorde guide my quiuryng quill When thus this high and mightie Prince whose glorie did extende Throughout all corners of the worlde euen to the furthest ende Had rulde and rainde and wealde the mace and Scepter of this lande Long tymes and daies and many yeres as wrighters beare in hande At length as all thyngs hath a tyme to spryng to growe and crease And backe againe in elder yeres to wither fade and cease Muche like the sweete and pleasant hearbe or fragrant sentiue flowre That riseth brauely for a tyme and falleth in an howre Or as the auncient aged Oke sometyme of passyng strength But yet through sondrie winters stormes a feeble tree at length Or rather like the gallant Sunne that golden firie ball Whiche hauyng past the toppe of heauen declineth to the fall Euen so this famous peerlesse prince that precious pearle of price Through all the hostes and cope of heauen renowmed famous thrice At laste by Death arested was and forced to resigne The thynges he conqu'red by the sworde as whiche from royall line Did erst descend surrendring them to other noble Kynges Whose praises all eche sacred Dame in heauenly ditties synges Emongest the whiche though thei deserue to haue immortall fame Yet here of one his praise to wright it ioyes my hande to frame It gladdes my harte to name hym once to bryng hym forthe in place For hym that onely durst des●e his enemies to their face He he it is and none but he in these our latter daies Through Europe and beyonde partes hath wonne like noble praise Kyng Henry that moste famous Prince the eight I meane by name Whiche left behinde hym for his deedes so high renowme and fame This is the Prince whose onely lookes made diuerse Nations quake This is the manne that made likewise huge towres and holds to shake This is the Prince that did retaine the Emp'rour in his bande This is that knight that made his foes

subiectes doth binde Their liues for to leade the statutes within Are lightly extende when rancour beginne To plaie her pagent as wily she can She spoyleth wholy the nature of man Procuryng enuie grudge strife and debate Anger and malice bothe fit for the turne Dissimulation a principall mate That other vices doeth neately adorne Holdyng them smouldryng and neuer to burne Till tyme descries it detectyng the treason Whiche then is maintainde by colour of reason Aledgyng reason suche folly to couer Though treason not reason is chefest pretence Thus whilste in malice the Rebell doeth houer Raising a powre to be his defence To subiectes disquiet the Realme and the Prince Good God what reason iste then to defende The thyng that treason is founde in the ende But man addicted to fancie and will Forced by Sathan to followe his luste Regardes not the cause be it good or ill For whiche in hazarde his life he doeth thruste He passe not a myte b'it iust or vniust For as the Pooke leades hym so forward he must Not ceasing till bayarde laith hym in the dust He nought forcasteth enflamed with yre At last what guerdon false treason awarde Nor yet diserneth through passyng desire What plagues for traitours y e law hath preparde But ronnyng forwarde not hauing regarde To thinges before hym or after ensewe He sone possesse what for treasone is dewe Although for a tyme dame fortune doeth smile Fauryng moste frendly the thing set abroche Whose craftie suggestions compact in a wise At last bringes the Rebell to shame and reproche Deludyng his rashnesse that darde to encroche So muche on fortune abusing her wheele That leaste puffe of winde doeth make for to reele What here is spoken a thousande haue tride Who maie be triall the truth will declare The course of fortune thei likewise haue spide As how she seketh but people to snare To snarle and intangle with sorowe and care And they thus hampred from them to flie Suffryng those captiues in fetters to lie Yet she forsakes not still men in their neede But sometyme faureth their hardlesse distresse As who that listeth in stories to reede Shall see how frendly she seekes their release Though for no true loue yet more to encrease The plague of vengeaunce that after ensewe A stipende iustly to traitours b'yng dewe These thinges to confirme I Rorie am he Who sometyme mounted a lofte in the Skie And fortune castyng a fauour to me Prouoked me higher and higher to flie Thus like an Eagle I neastled on hie Full little thinkyng againe to descende Or that my glorie would euer haue ende In all my actions moste happie successe Dame Fortune euer alotted to me For what I mynded in harte to suppresse The same accomplisht she caused to bee Thus will and fortune did euer agree Whiche thing espied puft vp with aspiraunce I stoode with Sir Henrie alas at defiaunce Muche like a champion addicted to warre Tyme seruyng fitly to anger my foes I somm●nde a nomber of neighbours from farre Twice eightie persones the beste I could chose For manhood and sleightes in whom to repose I might in saftie my life and my lande No dasterdes nor shrincklinges but those y t would stande With these I marched from place vnto place With

augmentyng my fame The people to sworde and houses to flame With these I wasted the Countie of Lease The places likewise that bordred it nye I made from tillage the Farmors to cease I made them gladly awaie for to flye Inuityng them nightly with a freshe supplye Giuyng my woodkarne their states to maintaine The fruite that growed of other mens paine But God detestyng this horrible life Might not of
