The kindled coles doth crepe in straw so farre That quarrels rise and peace is turnde to warre One haleth backe an other drawes aside And weakest bones must needes the brunt abide As I aspierd by vertue and desarte And was by Prince cald vnto credite still So some by sleight did seeke to sucke my harte And of my bloud did thrist to drincke their fill They sought to stoppe the water from the mill And turne the wheele and all the ioynts awrye Lo heare how close the swelling Serpents lye Loe how they caste their venom as they maye And marke what hate they gaine that beareth sway For that I grew full great with Robert Vear A noble man full wise and mightie both And had the guide of good Prince Edwards hear To show therein my dutie faith and trothe Great mallice rose as grudginge daily grothe Twene many men that cannot rule their rage A mightie-duke there was well stept in age That sought to reape the corne that I had sowne And could not rest till I was quite oerthrowne My roulmes and rule and things that I had goet My gaine my wealth and glory as it grue Was in his eye so bigge a mightie moet That loe this Duke my plague did still pursue With open mouth he so the bellowes blue That sparkes of fier as thicke flew in my face As in the Sunne the gnatts do flie at chace Or as the balle rebounds at euery stroke So loe his words did smore me vp in smoke This dreadfull Duke did driue a wondrous drift To worke his will with slipper sleight of hande And sought to giue king Richards frends a lift For whom he did prepare a secrete bande Whose bolde attempts did trouble all this lande But few could finde the darnell in the corne Or iudge aright the Roes from pricking thorne So close in clowde was clokte their cunning arte That none could know who plaide the Foxes parte This Duke did raise a bruite the king would haue A taxe most straunge of all the realme throwe out And to the Lords and commons councell gaue Against the king to stand both stiffe and stout This practise proude was patcht with many a clout Here did the Wolfe leade silly lammes amis And suckt their bloud as wolâ—ishe maner is Here traytrous tricks and trebell trothles traynes In subiects brestes began to sprede theyr vaines The Duke of Yorke and diuers noble peers Forsoke the king and held with this vprore By which great strife was sowne in sondry sheres And corsies rose that made a running sore Bigge biles brust out where fleshe was sounde before And though some time the Surgeon salue did finde To heale the wound the skarre remaind behinde A common plague doth creepe alonge the realme As skulls of fishe swimmes vp and downe the streame The greatest townes and Cities of most name As London Yorke and many mo beside These Dukes did draw with folly out of frame And made some striue against both streame and tide Where bankes be brooke the water cannot bide Where flouds flee out the fishe do follow fast And than to late to call againe is past The Swallow flies no swifter vnder winge Then mens deuice that do forsake a kinge For faith once stainde seekes straight for starting holes As prisners doe that hath their promise broke The seames once ript of shue farewell the soles The Oxe set free will seeke to shonne the Yoke The chimney bruste the house is full of smoke The sleuce drawen vppe downe driues the dregs and all The strongest tript the weakest needs must fall There is no stay to hold meane people in When might with maine the mischiefe doth begin The Lords alledgd the king was gouerd still By such as came from base and poore estate And sayd he should no longer haue his will By which bould speache there grew so great debate The lande was bent on murther ruyne and hate Now seuerall wayes from hiue flew out the bees Now tempests came and tare vp mightie trees Now traitours flockt and fell to fackshions straunge Whose fickill myndes still gaped for a chaunge O vipars brode and blody bosome snakes O Butchers curres that would your maister byte O helhoundes rude of Plutos lothesum lakes O cursed crew more crewell then the Kyte O kankred hartes so fraught with froward spite O Tigers wilde O monstrous men most vyle Where was your loue and dewtie all this whyle How durst you speake so stoutly to his face To whom of right the stoutest ought giue place Among brute bestes that sauage ar and wilde The Lion raignes and rules with regall powre And so great birdes stoupes downe like littill childe To fathers beck if Eagle doth but lowre Than to a king dare people loke so sowre That they will force their suffraine paste their reatche No scoller ought his learned tewtor teache No member dare presume to rule the hed None raignes and rules but kynges when all is sed Note how they shrincke that shapes to giue a shocke Against a king and marke how traitors spede Note how their hedes do tumble of the block That with vaine hope do peoples humors fede And note from whence doth Princes powre procede And note withall how farre doth stretche his fame And faulters quake that do but heere his name For at the brunte saye here a king doth cumme Home runne poore knaues down they fling the drumme Harke howe this Duke whereof I spake before By three estates vnto a coumpt did call Their king and Lorde whose minde they troubled sore And vexte thereby his frendes and faures all They fill in lashe they felt the bluddy brale They loste their goodes they got a great disgrace They fled the courte they were pursewd in chace They were full faine for none offence or cawes At open barre to plede their cace by lawes Suche are the happes of those that hould with right Suche cureles woundes they haue that sores wold heale Suche hate they heape in hucksters handes that light Suche harmes they finde that standes with coÌ„mon weale And such know not to whom they should appeale When wrong will rule and reuell faules to spoyle The faithfull flocke are forste to feele the foyle Drede driues desartes that daylie well hath dunne To flie from foes or els throw fier to runne Because these Lordes who loekte to lede the daunce Saw other step one stage ere they could ryse By playne fine force they would them selues aduaunce And for that feate this drifte they did deuise Desier of fame doth so abuse the wise They ende like fooles that erste began full well And sonest smarte that ringes the larom bell For wheles and all faules downe about their eares From rotten frames who first stode voide of feares But we who were besigd by fortune so Betraied I meane if trothe may tell the tale Were skorgd and plagd and faine to fawne one
