Edward-Allde A lamentable new Ballad vpon the Earle of Essex death To the tune of the Kings last Good-night ALL you that cry O hone O hone come now and sing O Lord with me For why our Iewell is from vs gone the valiant Knight of Chiualrie Of rich and poore beloued was he in time an honorable Knight When by our Lawes condemd to dye and lately tooke his last Good night Count him not like to Saint nor Campion those traitrous men or Babington Nor like the Earle of Westmerland by whom a number were vndone He neuer yet hurt mothers sonne his quarrell stil maintaind the right Which makes y t tears my cheeks down run when I thinke on his last Good-night The Portingales can witnes be his Dagger at Lisbone gate he flung And like a knight of Chiualrie his chaine vpon the gate he hung Would God that he would thither come to fetch them both in order right Which thing was by his honor done yet lately tooke his last Good-night The Frenchmen they can testifie the towns of Gourney he tooke in And marched to Roane immediately not caring for his foes a pin With bullets then he pierced their skin and made them flée far from his sight He at that time did credit win and now hath tane his last Good-night And stately Cales can witnes well euen by his Proclamation right He did command them all straightly to haue a care of Infants liues That none should ravish maide nor wife Which was against their order right Therefore they praid for his long life which lately tooke his last Good-night Would God he had ne're Ireland knowne nor set his féet on Flanders ground Then might we well inioyed our owne where now our Iewell will not be found Which makes our woes still to abound trickling with salt teares in my sight To heare his name in our eares to found Lord Deuereux tooke his last Goodnight Ashwednesday that dismall day when he came forth of his Chamber doore Vpon the Scaffold there he saw his headsman standing him before The Nobles all they did deplore shedding their salt teares in his sight He said farewell to rich and poore at his good morrow and good-night Farewell Elizabeth my gratious Quéene God blesse thée and thy counsell all Farewell my Knights of Chiualrie farewell my soldiers stout and tall Farewell the Commons great and small into the hands of men I light My life shall make amends for all for Essex bids the world good-night Farewell deare wife and children thrée farewell my young and tender son Comfort your selues mourne not for me although your fall be now begun My time is come the glasse is run comfort your selues in former light Séeing by my fall you are vndone your Father bids the world Good-night Derrick thou knowst at Cales I sav'd thy life lost for a rape there done Which thou thy selfe canst testifye thine owne hand thrée and twenty hung But now thou féest my time is come by chance into thy hands I light Strike out thy blow that I may know thou Essex lou'dst at his good-night When England counted me a Papist the workes of Papists I defie I nere worshipt Saint nor Angell in heauen nor to the Virgin Mary I But to Christ which for my sinnes did dye trickling with sad teares in his sight Spreading my armes to God on high Lord Iesus receiue my soule this night FINIS Imprinted at London by E.
