off his Hood And welcomd him though wisht him little good 59 To whom the Duke began My Lord I knowe That both vncall'd and vnexpected too I haue presumed in this sort to showe And seeke the right which I am borne vnto Yet pardon I beseech you and allow Of that constraint which driues me thus to doo For since I could not by a fairer course Attaine mine owne I must vse this of force 60 Well so it seemes deare Cosin said the King Though you might haue procur'd it otherwise And I am here content in euery thing To right you as your selfe shal best deuise And God voutsafe the force that here you bring Beget not England greater iniuries And so they part the Duke made haste from thence It was no place to ende this difference 61 Straight towards London in this heate of pride They forward set as they had fore-decreed With whom the 〈◊〉 King constraind mustride Most meanely mounted on a simple Steed Degraded of all grace and ease beside Thereby neglect of all respect to breed For th'ouer-spreading pompe of prouder might Must darken vveaknes and debase his sight 62 Approaching neere the Cittie hee was met With all the sumptuous shewes ioy could deuise Where new-desire to please did not forget To pasle the vsuall pompe of former guise Striuing applause as out of prison let Runnes-on beyond all bounds to nouelties And voyce and hands and knees and all do now A strange deformed forme of welcome showe 63 And manifold confusion running greetes Shoutes cries claps hands thrusts striues and presses neere Houses impov'risht were t' inrich the streetes And streetes left naked that vnhappie were Plac't from the sight where ioy with wonder meetes Where all of all degrees striue to appeare Where diuers-speaking zeale one murmure findes In vndistinguisht voyce to tell their mindes 64 He that in glorie of his fortune sate Admiring what hee thought could neuer be Did feele his blood within salute his state And lift vp his reioycing soule to see So many hands and hearts congratulate Th' aduancement of his long-desir'd degree When prodigall of thankes in passing by He resalutes them all with chearefull eye 65 Behind him all aloofe came pensiue on The vnregarded King that drooping went Alone and but for spight scarce lookt vpon Iudge if hee did more enuie or lament See what a wondrous worke this day is done Which thimage of both fortunes doth present In th' one to shew the best of glories face In th' other worse then worst of all disgrace 67 Novv Isabell the young afflicted Queene Whose yeares had neuer shew'd her but delights Nor louely eyes before had euer

they would neuer be so bold To lead their Lord in any shamefull wise But rather would conduct him as their King As seeking but the States reordering 69 And foorth shee lookes and notes the formost traine And 〈◊〉 to view some there she wisht nor there Seeing the chiefe not come stayes lookes againe And yet she sees not him that should appeare Then backe she stands and then desires as faine Againe to looke to see if hee were neere At length a glittering troupe farre off she spies Perceiues the throng and heares the shouts and 〈◊〉 70 Lo yonder now at length he comes sayth shee Looke my good women where he is in sight Do you not see him yonder that is hee Mounted on that white Courser all in white There where the thronging troupes of people bee I know him by his seate he sits s vpright Lo now he bowes deare Lord with what sweet grace How long haue I longd to behold that face 71 O what delight my hart takes by mine eye I doubt me when he comes but something neere I shall set wide the window what care I Who doth see me so him I may see cleare Thus doth false ioy delude her wrongfully Sweete Lady in the thing she held so deare For neerer come she findes she had mistooke And him she markt was Henrie Bullingbrooke 72 Then Enuie takes the place in her sweet eyes Where Sorrow had prepar'd her selfe a seat And words of wrath from whence complaints should rise Proceed from egre lookes and browes that threat Traytor saith shee ist thou that in this wise To braue thy Lord and King art made so great And haue mine eyes done vnto me this wrong To looke on thee for this staid I so long 73 Ah haue they grac't a periur'd Rebell so Well for their errour I will weepe them out And hate the tongue defil'd that praysde my foe And loath the minde that gaue me not to doubt What haue I added shame vnto my woe I le looke no more Ladies looke you about And tell me if my Lord be in this traine Least my betraying eyes should erre againe 74 And in this passion turnes 〈◊〉 selfe away The rest looke all and carefull note each wight Whil'st she impatient of the least delay Demaundes againe And what not yet in sight Where is my Lord What gone some other way I muse at this O God graunt all goe right Then to the window goes againe at last And sees the chiefest traine of all was past 75 And sees not him her soule desir'd to see And yet hope spent makes her not leaue to looke At last her loue-quicke eyes which ready be Fastens on one whom though she neuer tooke Could be her Lord yet that sad cheere which hee Then shew'd his habit and his woful looke The grace he doth in base attire retaine Caus'd her she could not from his sight refraine 76 What might he be she said that thus alone Rides pensiue in this vniuersall ioy Some I perceiue as well as we do mone All are not pleas'd with euery thing this day It may be hee laments the wrong is done Vnto my Lord and grieues as well he may Then he is some of ours and we of right Must pittie him that pitties our said plight 77 But stay 〈◊〉 not my Lord himselfe I see In truth if 't were not for his base aray I verily should thinke that it were hee And yet his basenes doth a grace bewray Yet God forbid let me deceiued be And be it not my Lord although it may Let my desire make vowes against desire And let my sight approue my sight a lier 78 Let me not see him but himselfe a King For so he left me so he did remoue This

Whil'st we hold but the shadow of our owne Pleas'd with vaine shewes and dallied with delight They as huge vnproportion'd mountaines growne Betweene our land and vs shadowing our light Bereaue the rest of ioy and vs of loue And keepe downe all to keepe themselues aboue 20 Which wounds with griefe poore vnrespected zeale When grace holdes no proportion in the parts When distribution in the Common-weale Of charge and honour due to good desarts Is stopt when others greedie hands must deale The benefite that Maiestie imparts What good we meant comes gleaned home but light Whilst we are robd of prayse they of their right 21 Thus he complained when lo from Lancaster The new intit'led Duke with order sent Arriv'd Northumberland as to conferre And make relation of the Dukes intent And offred there if that he would referre The controuersie vnto Parlement And punish those that had abus'd the State As causers of this vniuersall hate 22 And also see that Iustice might be had On those the Duke of Glosters death procur'd and such remov'd from Councell as were bad His cosin Henry would he there assur'd On humble knees before his Grace be glad To aske him pardon to be well secur'd and haue his right and grace resto'rd againe The which was all he labour'd to obtaine 23 And therefore doth an enterparle exhort Perswades him leaue that vnbeseeming place and with a princely hardinesse resort Vnto his people that attend his Grace They meant his publique good and not his hurt and would most ioyfull be to see his face He layes his soule to pledge and takes his Oath The ost of Christ an ostage for his troth 24 This proffer with such protestations made Vnto a King that so neere danger stood Was a sufficient motiue to perswade When no way else could shew a face so good Th'vnhonourable meanes of safety bade Danger accept what Maiesty withstood When better choyses are not to be had We needes must take the seeming bost of bad 25 Yet standes he'in doubt a while what way to take Conferring with that small remaining troope Fortune had left which neuer would forsake Their poore distressed Lord nor neuer stoope To any hopes the stronger part could make Good Carlile Ferby and Sir Stephen Scroope With that most worthy Montague were all That were content with Maiesty to fall 26 Time spare and make not sacrilegious theft Vpon so memorable constancie Let not succeeding Ages be bereft Of such examples of integritie Nor thou magnanimous Leigh must not be left in darknesse for thy rare fidelitie To saue thy faith content to lose thy head That 〈◊〉 head of good men honoured 27 Nor will my Conscience I should iniury Thy memorie most trusty Ienico For b'ing not ours though wish that 〈◊〉 Claym'd not for hers the faith we reuerence so That England might haue this

fortune thus aduis'd his King Deare Sou'raigne know the matter that is sought Is onely now your Maiesty to bring From out of this poore safetie you haue got Into theyr hands that else hold euery thing For now but onely you they want of all and wanting you they nothing theirs can call 29 Here haue you craggie Rocks to take your part That neuer will betray their faith to you These trusty Mountaines here will neuer start But stand t' vpbraid their shame that are vntrue Here may you fence your safetie with small art against the pride of that confused Crew If men will not these verie Cliffes will fight and be sufficient to defend your right 30 Then keepe you here and here shall you behold Within short space the slyding faith of those That cannot long their resolution hold Repent the course their idle rashnesse chose For that same mercenarie faith they sold With least occasions discontented growes And insolent those voluntarie bands Presuming how by them he chiefly stands 31 And how can he those mightie troupes sustaine Long time where now he is or any where Besides what discipline can he retaine Whereas he dares not keepe them vnder feare For feare to haue them to reuolt againe So that it selfe when Greatnesse cannot beare With her owne waight must needes confus'dly fall Without the helpe of other force at all 32 And hither to approche hee will not dare Where deserts rockes and hilles no succours giue Where desolation and no comforts are Where few can do no good many not liue Besides we haue the Ocean to prepare Someother place if this should not relieue So shall you tire his force consume his strength And weary all his followers out at length 33 Doe but referre to time and to small time And infinite occasions you shall finde To quaile the Rebell euen in the prime Of all his hopes beyond all thought of minde For many with the conscience of the crime In colder blood will curse what they design'd And bad successe vpbrayding their ill fact Drawes them whom others draw from such an act 34 For if the least imagin'd ouerture But of conceiv'd reuolt men once 〈◊〉 Straight shrinke the weake the great will not indure Th' impatient run the discontented flie The friend

Bullingbrooke Will liue a Subiect that hath tri'd his fate Or what good reconcilement can you looke Where he must alwayes feare and you must hate And neuer thinke that he this quarrell tooke To reobtaine thereby his priuate state T' was greater hopes that hereto did him call And he will thrust for all or else lose all 36 Nor trust this suttle Agent nor his oth You knowe his faith you tri'd it before hand His fault is death and now to lose his troth To saue his life he will not greatly stand Nor trust your kinsmans proffer since you both Shew blood in Princes is no stedfast band What

all neglected leav'st vs and art gone And with thee th' ancient strength the manly state Of valor and of worth that glory wonne Or else stay'st thou till new-priz'd shot abate That neuer shall affect what thou hast don And oneiy but attend'st some blessed Raigne When thou and Virtue shalt be grac't againe 19 But this sharp tempest draue Northumberland Who led the vant-guard of king Henries side With eger heatioine battaile out of hand And this disorder with their swords to hide Where twice siue howres these furious armies stand And Fortunes Ballance weigh'd on neither side Nor either did but equall bloud-shed gayne Till Henries chiefest leaders all were slaine 20 Then lo those spirits which from these heads deriue Their motions gaue off working and in haste Turne all their backs to Death and mainely striue Who from themselues shall run-away most fast The after-slyers on the former driue And they againe by the pursuers chac't Make bridges of their fellowes backs to pass The Brooks and Riuers where-as danger was 21 Witnes O cleare-stream'd Cock within whose banks So many thousand crawling helpless lay With wounds and wearinesle who in their rankes Had valiantly behav'd themselues

Henrie from a little Hill Plac't not 〈◊〉 off whence he might view the fight Had all th' intire full prospect of 〈◊〉 ill With all the scattered slaughter in his sight Saw how the victorrag'd and

Who make vs with their miseries Spare them For whom thou thus dost seeke a Diadem 24 For me I could be pleas'd t' haue nought to doe With Fortune and content my selfe were ill So England might be well and that t' vndoe Me might suffice the sword without more ill And yet perhaps these men that cleaue vnto The parts of Princes with such eger will Haue likewise their owne ends of gaine or hate In these our strifes and nourish this debate 25 Thus stood he drawing lines of his discourse In contemplation when more needfully It did import him to deuise a course How he might shift for his recouery And had beene taken had not some by force Rescu'd and drawne him off more speedilie And brought him vnto Yorke in all maine poste Where he first told his Queen the daie was lost 25 Who as compos'd of that firme temp'rature Which could not bend to base complaynts nor wayle As weakenes doth fore-knowing howt'indure Fayl'd not hersolfe though Fortune did her fayle But rather casts-about how to procure Meanes to reserue her part and to preuaile Of that poore time left her to saue her owne As one though ouer-come not ouer-throwne 26 Now when she had of fatall Lancaster Seene all the pillars crusht and ruined That vnder-set it all that followed her Of those heroicke personages dead Saue onely Sommerset and Excester Who from this last destruction hardly fled And saw all lost and nothing in

ground their owne whereon they tread When yet your faith worthy of all renowne Constant Northumbrians firme continued And though you could not render succors fit Vnto your Sov'raigne you would saue

Which in this sodaine-comming misery He had no leasure to consider-on And now 〈◊〉 he that poore company Attending on himselfe his wife and sonne Sees how that all the State which serv'd his Crowne Was shut within the walls of one small towne 30 〈◊〉 there what a poore distressed thing A King without a people was and whence The glory of that Mightinesse doth spring That ouer-spreds with such a reuerence This vnder-world whence comes this furnishing And all this splendor of Magnificence He sees what chayre so-euer Monarch sate Vpon on Earth the People was the State 31 And yet although he did contayne no more Then what he saw yet saw a peece so small Could not containe him What he was before Made him vncapable of any wall To yeeld him succour now he must haue more Then onely this small Holde or none at all And therefore this se'ing it auayl'd him not Nor could he keepe he renders to the Scot 32 As th' Earnest to confirme and ratifie The league betweene them two newly begun Whereof to make more sure and faster tye He promist too th' alliance of his sonne And all that might secure their amity With willingnesse on either side was done And heere they practise all they can deuise To turne reuenge vpon their Enemyes 33 Thus England didst thou see the mightiest King Thou euer hadst in Power and Maiesty Of State and of Dominions gouerning A most magnificent Nobility With an aduent'rous people flourishing In all the glories of felicitie Chac't from his kingdom forc't to seeke redresse In parts remote distrest and succourlesse 34 Now Bullingbrook these miseries heere showne Doo much vnlode thy sinne make thy ill good For if thou did didst by wrong attaine the Crowne T' was without cryes it cost but little bloud But Yorke by his attempt hath ouer-throwne All the best glorie wherein England stood And did his state by her vndooing winne And was though white without yet red within 35 And thus he hath
