aright His speare to traile and with his sword to strike Vpon the plumed beauer of a knight None must be sparde by warres impartiall might If euery souldier were a King what then Princes should die as fast as other men The Senator must leaue his skarlet gowne And keepe him in some Turret of defence When warres once flourish Iustice must goe downe Lawes to correct is lawlesse warres pretence Valure doth greeue to see ill gotten pence To see a man without deserts to rise Makes warre such men not Iustice to despise You that in peace by vse of golden hoords Your dunghill race to Barons did erect You that by English phrase and chosen woords Make heauens enuy your toplesle Architeck Your Angels cannot you from warres protect The Campe and Court in manners different are Words may in Peace but deeds preuaile in Warre For Robes of honor furr'd with Miniuere You must haue brest-plates of well tempred steele And on your aged heads strong Helmets weare All states must turne when Fortune turnes her wheele That man which pleasure tastes must sorrow feele Who sees the wracke of mightie Empery He loues his life too well that will not dye When Kings must fight shall subiects liue in peace What Coward is of such a crauant race That loues not honor more than idle ease Great Romane I applaud thy worthy Phrase To liue with shame is worse then dye with praise All which haue being alwaies cannot bee For things corrupt must die and so must wee Could Cressus mightie mines from Cyrus hand His captiue carkasse or his state defend Wealth cannot warre nor siluer speares withstand By strife we see the greatest states haue end And most they marre by warre who most would mend When old warres cease then straight their springs anew For harmes still harmes and euils do ills ensue No sooner had the gladsome eyes of peace Beheld this warlike sea inuiron'd Ile But disobedience heire to sluggish ease Did weake beleefe subdue with subtile stile Grace winnes the heart but words the eares beguile T was Warwicks tongue whose speech did all men please Whose words were such or very like to these The Earle of Warwicks speech YOu know great Lords your very eyes did see The spotlesse honor which my house and I Did euer beare this kingdome who but wee Did checke the pride of wilfull tyranny And with our Grandsires we esteemde it good For Englands weale to spill our dearest blood Witnesse the dismall fall of Salisbury And Richard Duke of Yorke in Wakefield slaine The wracke of my decaied familie Why did we this what profit did we gaine T was but to shew our country our good will Which now we also do and euer will How many times haue I in complete steele Yea mounted on my steed pursude the chase Witnesse these weary limbes for age must feele If youth hath runn'd astray or tedious race Witnesse these siluer haires which now appeares Cares makes vs old though we be yong in yeares When as these eyes impartiall eyes of mine Beheld my king illuded and misled By baser men true honor did repine To see great maiestie with basenesse wed For which I waged warre and warring wan And winning chose a Tyger for a Lambe Both you and I great Lords yea all the state With vniuersall voice adiudg'd him wise Who now hath prou'd a tyrant and vngrate Humilitie makes time obseruers rise For you I chose him king and spent my blood But tryall saies good seeming is no good Now therefore friends let Warwicks tongue intreate Since that our hopes of Edwards loue dispaire That Lancaster may repossesse his seate Whom we vnkindly thrust from honors chaire The reason is which gouernes our pretents Tyrants are worser farre then Innocents Thus this enraged Lord doth instigate With spurlike words swift coursers to the race Enuy ambition breeds ambition hate Hate discontent breeds discontent disgrace These be warres angry sounds pernitious race These vices by Iniustice nourisht are Affection in a Iudge is worse then warre Blessed that state thrice happie is the land VVhere sacred Iustice is esteemde diuine And where the Iudge on one eare holds his hand My pen applaudes that sentence iust of thine Romes holy Prince peace louing Antonine As I am Marcus I am not thy foe But being Iudge I must be iust also That lawe deryding Peere disdaining Lord Warwick doth his rebellious Ensignes reare And vowes reuenge on Edward with his sword Hastings and Stanley do withstand the Beare True honor neuer yeelds to seruile feare He is a friend that loues when Fate doth frowne He shall haue thousands that doth weare a Crowne Thus while these threatnings like some blazing starre The wracke of some great Emperour do portend Their friends on either side addresse for warre Great William Earle of Pembrooke doth entend Ere warre begin to make of warre an end And for that purpose for his friends he sent To whom as thus he shewed his right intent The Earle of Pembrookes Oration YOu that did euer with your swords maintaine The vndoubted title of the whiter Rose By whose great ayde great Edward did obtaine The Royall crowne and homage held of those VVhich now rebell deere friends correct this sinne 'T is as much praise to keepe as praise to winne If speech might spur you to this glorious race Where endlesse honor is the purchast fee Selected words my ruder speech should grace We pricke in vaine his sides whose feete are free You euer did the house of Yorke adore True loue encreaseth daily more and more Giue not occasion to the enuious pen To brand you with the badge of infamie Be firme in resolution worthy men And thinke vpon your auncient libertie Behold why Warwicke doth these warres entend A bad beginning hath a worser end Looke with indifferent not respecting eyes Vpon these two coriualls in the warre Edward a King couragious honest wise Warwicke whose name is like a blazing starre That some ensuing harmes doth foretell Enuy doth still worke ill but neuer well For whom doth he this bloody battell wage For aged Henry and the Prince his sonne Who but for him had led a quiet age But they poore Princes were by him vndone I finde it true which hath bene often sed Beares must sometime with humane flesh be fed It is not loue to either of these twaine That doth enforce this proud ignoble Peere These wandring troupes of rebells to maintaine But t is ambition whom he holds most deere That doth compell his willing hands to fight Vnsetled braines bloud still respect not right Nay what if Henry should enioy the wreath Thinke you by yeelding fauour to enioy Friends when warres rise say kings should neuer breath Princes in neede men of regard imploy To this iust action loyall friends be mou'd The firmest faith in danger great is prou'd THus hath this Lord as with a touch-stone tride The courage of his countrey-men and loue The voyce of all is on warres warres they cride

And in perfection haue a sympathie Henries triumphant carkasse laid in graue Couered with gold in Caesars ancient towre Edward succeeds a Prince though yong yet graue The skye which whilome smilde begins to lowre And showres of sorrow on the land to powre He endes his life before it scarce began What is more short then shortest life of man When nature fram'd this Prince oh goodly creature Compos'd of pure and elementall fire Turnd in a heauenly mowld diuinest feature She saw her selfe deceiu'd and wroth with ire When life began his end she did desire What enuie so could thee proud Nature sting Nothing should make and marre the selfe same thing The Gods did enuie mans felicitie And therfore did to Nature condescend That this yong King great King of Maiestie In sixteene yeares his vitall course should spend His life hath end and all our ioyes haue end Nature doth hasten to the house of death And shee consents to steale away his breath Now Spayne and England ioynes that
