this heape apply To make it burne and all before it teare And so faire Brittains Empire English nation Euen in a moment bring to desolation 86 The fault it selfe was plaine and manifest He could not

Thy bounteous goodnesse Lord doth farre exceed That carest for such a people so vnworthy And that at such a time a time of need So carest for them that care so little for thee For thee or thine so

To make the end and issue fortunate So well apaid and well rewarded too She sends him backe with new charge what to do 28 Hee 's quicke enough in speeding his retire And bawkes not old acquaintance by the way But visits Austria's court where that graue Sire Is Lord and ruler who 't is hard to say Whether he be a Priest of holy quire Or souldier fierce in fight his foes to fray He straight assembles th' English vagrants there Who wish for change and harme to this land here 29 Monsters of men that take delight to fish In troubled waters and tempestuous seas They see him forward answering to their wish They spurre and pricke him on and each of these Giues his aduice though all not worth a rish They lode him home such lode he thought an ease With new inuentions trickes and subtill wiles And teach him knauery cloakt by knauish guiles 30 He backe returnes serues his old master still And tels him all that hapned and withall They must make hast their purpose to fulfill For hee 's prepar'd and ready at a call With all the weapons that the wit and skill Of Italy for fraud renown'd of all Or yet the kingdome of that fiend of hell Could yeeld he knew them all exceeding well 31 Now settle they to worke and to begin Among their wicked conforts counsell take Each man in order giues his verdit in Which way may most for their aduantage make Go kill the King saith one passe not a pin To thrust him thorough for thy countries sake Brasutus-like let nothing hinder thee Vntill thy purpose fully acted be 32 Another thinkes it best in subtill shew Of friendly entertainment of the King To watch a time when he should weary grow By heate or hunting sport and then to bring Him to the place where he to rest should go And there then act this cruell cursed thing When sweet sound sleepe possest him as he lay To throttle him and take his life away 33 It strikes a horror to my very heart To tell the storie of their diuellish plot My tongue as loth herein to beare a part Cleaues to my iawes and willing opens not And do these country-killers neuer start Nor feare at all that haue these things begot Nay act at least intend these cursed deeds Fit fruites to come from such accursed weeds 34 A hotchpot they and mingle mangle make Of things diuine and humane all is one They make no difference yea the oathes they take And leagues of friendship which not those alone That Christians were but heathens neuer brake But alwayes kept inuiolate yet none Of these these wicked monsters care to keepe Though oathes and faith be sounded ne'er so deepe 35 〈◊〉 heard each mans tale and hearing all You misse the marke said he for all your skill To pettie matters fits not vs to fall But roote and branches at one blow to spill Say that we kill the King yet after shall His noble heire Prince Henry reigne who will Sharply no doubt reuenge himselfe on those By whom his fathers death vntimely growes 36 We know he is a Prince of vertue great Exceeding toward of great forwardnesse Therefore if he enioy his fathers seate Our danger will be rather more then lesse And therefore we must cast to worke a feate To helpe our selues this matter to redresse For if we suffer him to liue and grow His life will worke our dismall ouerthrow 37 So vse small seeds to rise to great increase The litle Hart at first vnweaponed Small sprigs at first sprouts out and doth not cease Till he grow captaine all the rest to leade His fellowes like himselfe horne-headed beasts Small sparks of fire haue much endangered Whole cities by neglect of carefull heed Suffering one fire another fire to feed 38 This litle Henry makes me call to mind Henry the eight that mightie potent King Who first our holy Father as we find With deadly wounds so mightily did sting Henry that fatall name to all our kind I do abhorre as an vnhappie thing Thus stands my mind this stocke hereticall Plucke vp at once that all at once may fall 39 This may be thus neare Percies lodging stands That ancient house where Englands Nobles all And all the chiefe estates of Brittaines lands Do sit in counsell when the King doth call That haue the kingdomes causes in their hands And order all things that in question fall And the first day of custome vsually The States meete there in great solemnitie 40 The King the Queene the Prince will all be there With mightie pompe attended royally All in their robes all glittering bright and cleare Their garments all beset most sumptuously With gold and precious stones and farre and neare The people throng and flocke exceedingly And fill the streets to see the gallant show All these at once 't were braue to ouerthrow 41 This may be easly done for t is not hard Vnder that ancient house of Parliament To place a fier which with good regard Set for the purpose whereunto t is bent Will send both them and th' house to heauenward For fire to mercie will no whit relent So while the King is speaking Nobles still One blast of powder all at once shall kill 42 And make them flie aloft into the skie Here Catesby ends the rest applauded well What he had said and praisd it mightily Of all their plots this plot did beare the bell Then Faulkes thus seconds him Surely quoth he Thy counsel 's good and doth the rest excell So shall the house which wrought the Pope such woe Be well rewarded with this worthy blow 43 So shall we counted be in time to come The men that did the Catholicke cause restore So by our holy mother Church at home As Saints we shall be canoniz'd therefore So shall they beare the iust reuenge and doome Their sinnes deserue by making lawes so sort Vniustly too brewing their hands in bloud Of holy men religious Saints and good 44 They by our wealth and spoiles are growne too gre●● And proud withall t is time they had a fall And neuer was inuented such a feate To worke their vtter ouerthrow withall Henceforth some choice yong men to worke are set And sworne by oath both ioynt and seuerall Some dig and delue the earth and wals of stone To vndermine at last the royall throne 45 Some flie abroad and get more companie To ioyne with them and wish them at the day That should amongst themselues appointed be To be all readie arm'd that so they may Vpon a sodaine spoile their enemie And vnawares may sweepe them all away And rid the land cleane of this hatefull kind That not so much as one be left behind 46 In Percies house the diggers first begin Which bordred neare the house of Parliament And there they dig deepe hollow trenches in Vntill by mining caues so farre they went That they at last such ground thereby did win That they vnbared to fit

their leud intent The maine foundation of that sacred place Which they so leudly labour'd to deface 47 ●ercie meane while a celler doth espie More fitting for their vse because indeed Right ouer it that ancient house did lie With hope of spoile whereof themselues they feed This for his mony he did hire or buy And therein laid what should their purpose speed But made a shew that he the same did hire To lay in beere and wood and coales for fire 48 These things thus happening to their minds so fit They make no doubt but all will well succeed The close of all to False they do commit For hee 's the man that vndertakes the deed Mans name's too good for he deserues not it But Diuell should I call this hellish weed Night-walking goblin master of his skill Falshood and fearfull mischiefe working still 49 Gun-powder store this fellow closely brought Into their hired celler and the same In powder barrels fully stuft and fraught Some here some there he placed as it came This did not serue his turne but still he sought Which way he might some new-found mischiefe frame Two barrels more he brought full fraught likewise With cables ropes and such like merchandise 50 These things he puts right vnderneath the throne Whereas the King himselfe in state should sit Next many barres of iron he layes thereon And piles of wo●d againe layes ouer it Of diuellish meanes be slips not any one That might their diuellish cursed purpose fit But all things ●●e with like deuice and skill He did contriue to worke their wicked will 51 These things in their disorderd order done This fellow thus possest with harmfull heart Nouembers fift when Parliament begun With longing lookes for readie for his part To act such mischiefe as ne'er saw the Sun The thought whereof would make a good man start Old Romes bad member wicked Catiline And Iewish Haman may to these resigne 52 They neuer thought on such a villanie Nay tosse and turne the monuments of old All bookes that write of any crueltie Yea looke to Barbarie yet I le be bold Thus much to say and to assure it thee That all these histories will not vnfold So great so horrible so vile a fact Nor such as odious hatefull cruell act 53 The King Queene Prince and royall progenie The gallant Lords and Nobles of estate The buds and branches of Nobilitie Graue Fathers of the Law that sit in seate Of iustice and the reuerend Clergie The flower of English gentrie and that great And famous Senate-house yea all the land Had perisht all with turning of a hand 54 From Percies house one cruell piercing blow Should spoile them all euen as the silly Hare Securely sitting in her forme so low One with his club doth kill her vnaware The name and nation of the Brittons so This cruell Dragon sodainly prepares Quite to suppresse and English Christians all To swallow vp at once both great and small 55 Such huge wide swallowes throates insatiate Haue these Italian monsters and admit They had at once both vs and all our State Brought to confusion as they purposd it Who should haue told the storie or relate That dayes destruction who could once befit Amid those ruffling ruffians to bewray The cities ruines and the Realmes decay 56 Had I an hundreth tongues they all would faile And to my tongues an hundreth wits withall All would not serue to tell the dolefull tale Of all the sorrowes that on vs should fall By this their enterprise that worke would quaile Homer himselfe the Prince of Poets all If now he lift'd his worke he much would feare To take in hand as ouer-hard to beare 57 For now me thinkes I once againe behold That famous Troy in flaming fier burne And there where earst were pleasures manifold All to tumultuous noise and horror turne And gallant London gay and rich in gold Me thinkes I see all sad and set to mourne London the Empires seate and Europes mart Of furious flames me thinkes doth feele the smart 58 Me thinkes the wals are broke and battred sore The streets with armed angry souldiers fild Dead corps disperst abroad all rent and tore Streames running full of bloud vntimely spild Streets Churches houses neuer like before Such fierce laments nor can nor will be stild No place me thinkes is free but all resound Sighes sobs and teares for losses lately found 59 Poore wofull mothers by their houses gay Wonder me thinks embracing in their armes Their tender babes with woe and well a day Wailing their owne and all the cities harmes Giuing their babes sweet kisses but by th' way Salt teares among as thicke as Bees in swarmes The houses they in gentle sympathie Suite womens moanes with mournfull melodie 60 Me thinkes the fire consumes and burnes vp all The ancient seates of iudgement where of old Graue reuerend Iudges sate Westminster hall The tombes where former kings lie clad in mold Those tombes me thinkes by fire to ruine fall And stately monuments bedeckt with gold Which in that famous Church and Chappell be And many yeares haue stood vntoucht and free 61 Nay more the funerall and buriall day Of countrey citie London now the seate Of English Kings that Brittish Scepter sway So politicke their plot their gall so great They meant not one behind aliue should stay To celebrate the same or mourne thereat The King the States and court of Parliament Once being gone thus was their mischiefe bent 62 Their purpose was the fault themselues had done To turne the same vpon their enemie And with the Puritanes to haue begun To make them authors of the villanie And to proclaime that they were those had spun The wicked we●● or that vile treacherie And so to banish kill and roote them out By fire and sword through all the Realme about 63 These be the diuels arts and cunning sleight No mans deuice but forg'd in fire of hell An odious fact that dare not bide the light To hide and couer with a fact more fell To trouble and traduce the harmlesse wight And him by what he may to ouerquell Whole kingdomes to subuert and glut his throate With guiltlesse bloud by him vntimely sought 64 Either blacke Plutoes darke affrighting cell Is voide of ghosts or this is Satans deed Plotted by man though sprung and nurst in hell In humane forme and shape of Adams seed But great Iehoua who on 's throne doth dwell Hath care of his and from their foes hath freed His watchfull eye each corner doth vnfold His neuer winking lampe the seas behold 65 The blindest corner cannot him bereaue Of piercing sight who doth the waues make still To whom a guilefull heart thoughts to deceiue Are knowne and eke disclosed by his will To him are rebels hatefull that do weaue We be to destroy poore infants free from ill But God approues of all things iust and right And seeing our King now in a dangerous plight 66 Our State in danger

from his throne aloft With such like words our perill did relate See see how Satan with his guilefull craft With hellish falshood and vnheard of hate Hath couertly prepar'd a deadly shaft To ouerthrow faire Englands royall state To place mute images and gods of corne And marble pictures as the Gospels scorne 67 If these his plots should take a wisht successe The triple crowned beast of Italie Babel the Queene of riot and excesse The worlds illuder full of villanie Would soone repaire her ruinous state doubtlesse And so frustrate the sacred prophecie Which hath diuin'd and told so long before The certaine ruine of that Romish whore 68 Let 's turne from England what their foes intend To bring vpon them to their vtter fall Destruction thine and a dismall end With cruell slaughter to destroy them all Wee see whereto their cruell plots they bend At once to massacre both great and small Let 's therefore now their plots withstand and stay Which they so fiercely gainst the English lay 69 Though their defaults haue merited this ill Though they be worthy of much punishment Because they haue abusde our fauours still Abusde our benefites that we haue sent To them and theirs yet all at once to kill By their vnworthy hand we are not bent Better it is these flames so fierce and fell Now readie thus to burne to quench and quell 70 With that a swift wing'd messenger he cals And bids him quickly tread on English ground Warning the King by dreame what cruell thrals Hang ore his head what vipers do abound Nurst in his bosome vp and downe they crals And now of late these vipers we haue found To haue prepar'd a bloudie treacherous gin To snare the King and all his kingdome in 71 And with aduice bid him beware the place Wherein great Romane Iulius once did fall Then to the Lord Mounteagle hie apace For hee 's forewarn'd to keepe him from the hall A friend concealing both his name and face By letter sent admonisht him of all For why forsooth both God and men consent To giue this wicked age due punishment 72 Into the countrie he was will'd retire There to expect th' euent that should ensue And told that once the paper cast i' th fire No further perill could to him accrew Call to his mind and so his heart inspire What from the subiect is the Princes due Warne him that now his loue he must not hide Nor from his country nor his countries guide 73 Bid him reueale the writing to the King Which was to him so secretly directed Without a name but yet a happie thing That so the plot thereby might be detected Swiftly the legate with his featherd wing Makes hast to England as he was directed And there perform'd and acted faithfully What was to him enioyn'd by God 〈◊〉 high 74 He straight inspires in noble Morleys heart A due regard of King and countries weale The King he lightens with a wondrous art Obscure darke riddles easly to reueale Like Oedipus to open euery part And loose the knots and tell it euery deale One of the Priuie Councell Morley chose To whom in order he did all disclose 75 One whom he knew Vlysses match to be For iudgement sound and sharpe quickwittednesse He tels the rest and then both they and he Go shew the king with great amazednesse The letter 's brought and as in doubts we see Each seuerall man doth giue a seuerall gesse Our prudent King in 's mind well pondring all Brake forth at last and let these speeches fall 76 What points out perill may not be despised I well remember how a litle smoke Doth shew huge flaming fires therein comprised In straw foule t●ades do oft he hid and croke I call to mind or I am misaduised Speeches of late haue euery where bene spoke Of busie Papists stirr'd by diuellish hate Threatning so●e mischiefe to our Realme and State 77 Preuenting care did neuer preiudice Monarchs whose liues with foes are set about Perhaps their purpose is some new deuice Some Troian horse or some seditious rout Some Iacobite to make an orifice By stabbing me to make my bloud gush out Assure your selues they haue some plots in hand Some monstrous mischiefe to subuert the land 78 These are no rouings of a crazed braine The writing sauours of some hainous plot Hee 's earnest with his friend he should refraine And keepe him absent out of dangers shot Some great some sodaine blow some cruell baine As fierce as lightning it doth seeme to note Gun-powder sure he meanes so fierce and cruell Hels damned ofspring and destructions fuell 79 Perhaps they meane this powder to abuse To our destruction gladly would I know Who dwell in houses neare or cellers vse Vnder the hall gainst which they bend this blow Of these things would I haue the certaine newes Ere we to any other matter go Make carefull search therefore and what you find Returne with speed to satisfie my mind 80 He that did keepe the house of Parliament Made search forthwith and viewed all things well Carefull of 's charge in 's dutie diligent And what he found he to the King did tell That Percie in the roomes next adiacent Vnto that house did at that in slam dwell And that the cellers vaults and vnder holes Were stuft and fraught with store of wood and coles 81 Hence more and more suspitions did arise And so Nouembers fourth a worthy Knight An ancient Courtier trustie graue and wise Kneuet by name in mids of that same night Was sent to search each thing with good aduise And euery corner to bring all to light Feigning stolne garments of the Queenes he sought Taking few with him for suspecting ought 82 First False he finds the diuell of the vault Alone cloth'd booted standing at the doore Fire-spitting Aetna he had lately fraught Fit for his purpose with prouision store Whereby with flashing sulphur flames he sought To bring his country to destruction sore Poore England now within some twelue houres after Neare to a deadly wound and bloudy slaughter 83 First him they fastned on and by and by Entring the vault the wood-piles ouerthrow Forthwith in great amazement one did crie Some cruell treason here be things do show Here 's powder hid one barrell found haue I No doubt here 's more lies hidden here below Vnder this wood let 's search it carefully For sure there is some monstrous villanie 84 Treason ah treason great they crie amaine And plucke out powder barrels more and more In all they spied and disclosed plaine Gunpowder pipes in number thirtie foure Two barrels more the celler did containe To furnish vp this diuellish wicked store All fild with hellish powder darke and blacke Prepar'd for Englands fatall spoile and wracke 85 In searching Faux about his necke they spie A crucifixe which he had hanging there His bodie cloth'd with sackcloth inwardly And in his clothes match hidden did he beare Whereby he might fire to
