The Duke of Hereford was the one a prudent Prince and wise 'Gainst whom such malice there was s●own which soon in sight did rise The Duke of Norfolk most untrue declared unto the King The Duke of Hereford greatly grew in hatred of each thing UUhich by his Grace was acted still against both high and low Now he had a traytorous will his State to overthrow The Duke of Hereford then in haste was sent for to the King And by the Lords in order plac'd examin'd of each thing UUho ● ing guiltless of this crime which was against him laid 〈◊〉 Duke of Norfolk at that time these words unto him said How can'st thou with a shameless face deny a truth so stout And here before his Royal Grace so falsly face it out Did not these wicked treasons pass when we together were How that the King unworthy was the Royal Crown to hear Wherefore my gracious Lord quoth he and you his Noble Peers To whom I wish long life to be with many happy years I do pronounce before you all this treacherous Lord that 's here A traytor to our Noble King as time shall shew it clear The Duke of Hereford hearing that in mind was grieved much And did return this answer flat which did Duke Norfolk touch The term of traytor truthless Duke in scorn and great disdain With flat distance to thy face I do return again And therefore if it please your Grace to grant me leave quoth he To Combat with my known Foe that here accuseth me I do not doubt but plainly prove that like a perjur'd Knight He hath most falsly sought my shame against all truth and right The King did grant this just request and did there with agree At Coventry in August next this Combat fought should be The Dukes on sturby Steebs full stout in Coats of Steel most bright With Spears in Rests did enter Lists this Combat flerce to fight The King then east his Warden down commanding them to stay And with his Lords he councel took to stint that mortal fray At length unto these Noble Dukes the King of ●eraulds came And unto them with losty speech this Sentence did proclaim Sir Henry Bullingbrook this day the Duke of Hereford here And Thomas Maubry Norfolk Duke so valiant did appear And having in honourable sort repaired to this place Our Noble King for special cause hath altered thus the case First Henry Duke of Hereford e're fifteen days be past Shall part the Realm on pain of death while ten years space doth last And Thomas Duke of Norfolk thou that hath begun this strife And therefore no good proof can bring I say for term of life By judgement of our Soveraign Lord which now in place doth stand For evermore I vanish thee out of thy Native Land Charging thee on pain of death when fifteen days are past Thou never tread on English ground so long as life doth last Thus were they sworn before the King e're they did further pass The one should never come in place whereas the other was Then both the Dukes with heavy hearts was parted presently Their uncouth streams of froward chance of forreign Lands to try The Duke of Norfolk coming then where he should Shipping take The bitter tears fell down his cheeks and thus his moan did make Now let me sigh and sob my fill e're I from hence depart That inward pangs with speed may burst my sore afflicted heart Ah cursed man whose loathed life is held so much in scorn Whose Company is clean despis'd and left as one forlorn Now take thy leave and last adieu of this thy Country dear Which never more thou must behold nor yet approach it near Now happy should I account my self if death my heart had torn That I might have my Bones Entombd where I was bred and born Or that by Neptunes wrathful rage I might be prest to dye Whilst that sweet Englands pleasant banks did stand before mine eye How sweet a scent hath English ground within my senses now How fair unto my outward sight seems every B●anch and Bough The fields and flowers the trees and stones seem such unto my mind That in all other Countries ●u●e the like I shall never find O that the Sun with shining face would stay his steed by strength That this same day might stretched be to twenty years in length And that the true pe●formed Lyve their hasty course would stay That Eolus would never yield to bear me hence away That by the fountain of my eyes the fields might watered be That I might grave my grievous Plaints upon each springing tree But time I see with Eagles wings so swift doth flie away And dusky Clouds begin to dim the brightness of the day The fatal hour it draweth on the winds and tydes agree And now sweet England oversoon I must depart from thee The Marriners have hoised Sails and call to catch me in And now in woful heart I feel my torments to begin Wherefore farewel for evermore sweet England unto thee But farewell all my Friends which I again shall never see And England here I kiss thy ground upon my bended knee Whereby to shew to all the world how dearly I love thee This being said away he went as Fortune did him guide And at the length with grief of heart in Venice there he dy'd The Noble Duke in doleful sort did lead his life in France And at the last the mighty Lord did him full high advance The Lord of England afterwards did send for him again While that King Richard at the Wars in Ireland did remain Who brought the vile and great abuse which through his deeds did spring Deposed was and then the Duke was truly Crowned King FINIS 8.

Queen therewith appeased be The Cup of deadly Poyson fill'd as she sat on her knee She gave this comely Dame to drink who took it from her hand And from her bended knees arose and on her Feet did stand And casting up her eyes to Heaven she did for mercy call And drinking up this Poyson strong her life she lost withal But when that death through every Limb had done his greatest spight Her chiefest Foes did plain confess she was a Glorious Might Her Body then they did Entomb when life was fled away At Godstow near to Oxford town as may be seen this day FINIS 2.
