a rocke on suddaine burst in twaine With that a grieuous screeke among them there was made And euery one did seeke on something to be staid But all in vaine such helpe they sought the ship so soone did sinke That in the sea they were constraind to take their latest drinke There might you see the Lords and Ladies for to lie Amidst the salt sea foame with manie a grieuous crie Still labouring for their lines defence with stretched armes abroad And lifting vp their Lillie handes for helpe with one accorde But as good fortune would the sweet yong Duke did get Into the Cock-boat then where safely he did sit But when he heard his sister crie the Kings faire daughter deere He turnd his boat to take her in whose death did draw so neere But while he stroue to take his sweet yong sister in The rest such shift did make in Sea as they did swimme That to the boate a number got to many that at last The boate and all that were therein was drownd and ouercast Of Lords and Gentlemen and Ladies faire of face Not one escaped then which was a heauie case Threescore and ten were drownd in all and none escaped death But one poore Butchee which had swome himselfe quite out of breath This was most heauie newes vnto our comly King Who did all mirth refuse this word when they did bring For by this meanes no child he had his kingdome to succeede Whereby his Sisters Sonne was King as you shall plainely reede The Dutchesse of Suffolkes Calamitie Or to the tune of Queene Dido WHen God had taken for our sinne that prudent Prince K. Edward away Then bloudie Bonner did begin his raging mallice to bewray Al those that did the Gospell professe he persecuted more or lesse Thus when the Lord on vs did lower many in prison did he throwe Tormenting them in Lollards tower whereby they might the truth forgoe Then Cranmer Ridlie and the rest were burnt in fire that Christ profest Smithfield was then with Faggots fyld and many places more beside At Couentry was Sanders kild at Gloster eke good Hooper dyed And to escape this bloudie day beyond seas many fled away Among the rest that sought reliefe and for their faith in danger stood Lady ELIZABETH was cheefe King Henries daughter of royall bloud Which in the tower prisoner did lye Looking each day when she should die The Dutches of Suffolke seeing this whose life likewise the Tyrant sought Who in the hope of heauenly blisse which in Gods word her comfort wrought For feare of death was faine to flye and leaue her house most secretly That for the loue of Christ alone her landes and goodes she left behinde Seeking still for that pretious stone the word of truth so rare to finde She with her nurse her Husband and childe in poore aray their sights beguild Thus through London they past along each one did take a seuerall streete Thus all vnknowne escaping wrong at Billinsgate they all did meete Like people poore in Grauesend Barge they simply went with all their charge And all along from Grauesend Towne with easie tournets on foote they went Vnto the sea coast they came downe to passe the seas was their intent And God prouided so that day That they tooke Ship and saild away And with a prosperous gale of wind in Flaunders safe they did ariue This was to their great ease of mind which from their harts much woe did driue And so with thankes to God on hie They tooke their way to Germanie Thus as they traueld thus disguisde vpon the hie waie sudainely By cruell theeues they were supprisde assailing their small company And all their treasure and their store They tooke away and beat them sore The Nurse in middest of their sight laide downe the childe vpon the ground She ran away out of their sight and neuer after that was found Then did the Dutches make great mone With her good husband all alone The thoenes had there their horses kilde and all their money quite had tooke The prettie babie almost spild was by their Nurse likewise forsooke And they farre from friends did stand all succourlesse in a strange land The skies likewise began to scowle it hailde and rainde in pittious sort The way was long and wonderous foule then may I full well report Their griefe and sorrow was not small When this vnhappy chance did fall Sometime the Dutchesse bore the child as wet as euer she could be And when the Ladie kinde and milde was wearie then the childe bore he And thus they one another casde and with their fortunes were well pleasde And after many wearied steppes all wet-shod both in dyrt and myre After much griefe their heart it leapes for labour doth some rest require A towne before them they did see but lodgd therein they could not be From house to house they both did goe seeking where they that night might lie But want of money was their woe and still the babe with colde did crie With cap and knee they courtsey make But none on them would pitie take Loc here a Princesse of great blood doth pray a Peasant for reliefe With teares be dewed as she stood yet few or none regards her grief Her speech they could not vnderstand But gaue her a penny in her hand When all in vaine the paines was spent and that they could not house-roome get Into a Church-porch then they went to stand out of the raine and wet Then said the Dutchesse to her deare O that we had some fier heere Then did her husband so prouide that fire and coales he got with speede Shee sate downe by the fires side to dresse her daughter that had neede And while she drest it in her lap her husband made the Infant pay Anon the Sexten thither came and finding them there by the fire The drunken knaue all voyde of shame to driue them out was his desire And spurning forth this noble Dame her husbands wrath it did inflame And all in furie as he stood he wroung the Church keyes out of his hand And strooke him so that all of bloud his head ran downe where he did stand Wherefore the Sexten presently for helpe and aide aloud did crye Then came the Officers in hast and tooke the Duchesse and her child And with her husband thus they past like Lambs to set with Tigers wilde And to the Gouernour were they brought who vnderstood them not in ought Then Master Bartue braue and bolde in Latine made a gallant speech Which all their miserie did vnfolde and their high fauour did beseech With that a Doctor sitting by did know the Dutchesse presently And therevpon arising straight with minde abashed at this sight Vnto them all that there did waight he thus brake forth in words aright Beholde within your sight quoth he a Princesse of most high degree With that the Gouernour and the rest were all amazde the same to heare And welcomed these new come guests
