haue beene there So that the heauens the sea the winde partakes With him as if they of his faction were Or that his spirit and valour were combin'd With destinie t' effect what he design'd 49 Which working though without and on the shore Reacht yet vnto the centre of the Land Searcht all those humors that were bred before Shakes the whole frame whereon the State did stand Affection pittie fortune feare being more Farre off and absent then they are at hand Pittie becomes a traytor with th' opprest And many haue beene rays'd by being supprest 49 For they had left although themselues were gone Opinion and their memorie behinde Which so preuayles that nought could here be done But straight was knowne as soone as once design'd Court Councell-chamber Closet all were-won To be reuealers of the Princes minde So false is Faction and so smooth a lyer As that it neuer had a side entire 50 Whereby th'exil'd had leasure to preuent And circumuent what-euer was deuiz'd Which made that Faulconbridge to Sandwich bent That Fortresse and the Gouernour surpriz'd Who presently from thence to Calais sent Had his vnguiltie blood there sacrifiz'd And Faulconbridge returning backe relates Th' affection here and zeale of all estates 51 Drawne with which newes and with a spirit that dar'd T' attempt on any likelihood of support They take th' aduantage of so great regard Their landing here secur'd them in such sort By Faulconbridge the fatall bridge prepar'd To be the way of blood and to transport Returning furie to make greater wounds Then euer England saw within her bounds 52 And but with fifteene hundred men do land Vpon a Land with many millions stor'd So much did high-presuming Courage stand On th' ayde home-disobedience would afford Nor were their hopes deceiv'd for such a hand Had Innouation ready for the sword As ere they neere vnto the Cittie drew Their powre beyond all former greatnesse grew 53 Muse what may we imagine was the Cause That Furie workes thus vniuersally What humor what affection is it drawes Sides of such powre to this Nobilitie Was it their Conscience to redresse the Lawes Or malice to a wrong-plac't Sov'raintie That caus'd them more then wealth or life desire Destruction ruine bloud-shed sword and fire 54 Or was the Powre of Lords thus inter-plac't Betwixt the height of Princes and the State Th' occasion that the people so imbrac't Their actions and attend on this Debate Or had their Greatnesse with their Worth imbas't The Touch of Royaltie to so lowe rate As their opinion could such tumults moue Then Powre and Virtue you contagious proue 55 And Perianders leuell'd Eares of Corne Shew what is fittest for the publique Rest And that the hyest Minions which adorne A Common-weale and doo become it best Are Zeale and Iustice Law and Customes borne Of hye descent that neuer do infest The Land with false suggestions claymes affrights To make men lose their owne for others rights 56 But now against this disproportion bends The feeble King all his best industrie And from abrode Skales Louell Kendall sends To hold the Cittie in fidelitie The Cittie which before for others ends Was wrought to leaue the part of Royaltie Where though the Kings commaund was of no powre Yet worke these Lords so that they tooke the Towre 57 And from thence labour to bring-in againe The out-let will of disobediencie Send terror threates intreaties but in vaine VVarwicke and March are with all iollitie And grace receiv'd The Citties loue did gaine The best part of a Crowne for whose defence And intertaining still stayes Salsburie Whil'st March and VVarwicke other fortunes try 58 Conducting their fresh troupes against their King Who leaues a woman to supply his steed And neere Northhampton both imbattailing Made now the very heart of England bleed Where what strange resolutions both sides bring And with what deadly rancour they proceed Witnesse the blood there shed and fowlly shed That cannot but with sighes be registred 59 There Buckingham Talbot and Egremont Bewmont and Lucy parts of Lancaster Parts most important and of chiefe account In this vnhappy day extinguisht are● There the Lord Grey whose sayth did not amount Vnto the trust committed to his care Betrayes his King borne to be strangely tost And late againe attain'd againe is lost 60 Againe is lost this out-side of a King Ordain'd for others vses not his owne Who to the part that had him could but bring A feeble body onely and a Crowne But yet was held to be the dearest thing Both sides did labor-for so much to crowne Their Cause with the apparency of might From whom and by whom they must make their Right 61 When he himselfe as if he nought esteem'd The highest Crowne on earth continues one Weake to the world which his Religion deem'd Like to the breath of man vaine and soone gone Whil'st the stout Queene by speedy flight redeem'd The safety of her selfe and of her Sonne And with her Sommerset to Durham fled Her powres supprest her heart vnuanquished 62 So much for absent Yorke is acted here Attending English hopes on th' Irish coast Which when vnlookt-for they related were Ambition still on horse-backe comes in poast And seemes with greater glory to appeare As made the more by be'ing so long time lost And to the Parlement with state is led Which his associates had fore-summoned 63 And com'n into the Chamber of the Peeres He sets himselfe downe in the chayre of State Where such an vnexpected face appeares Of an amazed Court that gazing sate With a dumbe silence seeming that it feares The thing it went about t'effectuate As if the Place the Cause the Conscience gaue Barres to the words their forced course should haue 64 T is strāge those times which brought such hāds for blood Had not bred tongues to make good any side And that no prostituted conscience stood Any iniustice to haue iustifi'd As men of the forelone hope onely good In desperatest acts to be imploy'd And that none in th' assembly there was found That would t'ambitious descant giue a ground 65 That euen himselfe forc't of necessitie Must be the Orator of his owne Cause For hauing viewd them all and could espie None proff'ring once to speake all in a pause On this friend lookes with an inuiting eye And then on that as if he woo'd applause Holding the cloth of State still in his hand The signe which he would haue them vnderstand 66 But se'ing none moue with an imperiall port Gath'ring his spirits he ryses from his sent Doth with such powre of wordes his Cause support As seemes all others Causes to defeat And sure who workes his Greatnesse in that sort Must haue more powres then those that are borne great Such Reuolutions are not wrought but when Those spirits doe worke which must be more then men 67 He argues first his Right so long with-held By th'vsurpation of the Lancasters

and strongest Towres to rent Torment of Thunder made to mocke the skies As more of power in our calamities 27 If that first fire subtile Prometheus brought Stolne out of heauen did so afflict man-kinde That euer since plagu'd with a curious thought Of stirring search could neuer quiet finde What hath he done who now by stealth hath got Lightning and thunder both in wondrous kinde What plague deserues so proud an enterprize Tell Muse and how it came and in what wise 28 It was the time when faire Europa sate With many goodly Diadems addrest And all her parts in florishing estate Lay beautiful in order at their rest No swelling member vnproportionate Growne out of forme sought to disturbe the rest The lesse subsisting by the greaters might The greater by the lesser kept vpright 29 No noise of tumult euer wak't them all Onely perhaps some priuate iarre within For titles or for confines might befall Which ended soone made better loue begin But no eruption did in generall Breake downe their rest with vniuersall sin No publique shock disioynted this faire frame Till Nemesis from out the Orient came 30 Fierce Nemesis mother of fate and change Sword-bearer of th' eternall Prouidence That had so long with such afflictions strange Confounded Asias proud magnificence And brought foule impious Barbarisme to range On all the glory of her excellence Turnes her sterne looke at last vnto the West As griev'd to see on earth such happy rest 31 And for Pandora calleth presently Pandora loues faire gift that first deceiv'd Poore Epimetheus imbecillitie That thought he had a wondrous boone receiv'd By meanes whereof curious Mortalitie Was of all former quiet quite bereav'd To whom beeing come deckt with all qualities The wrathfull Goddesse breakes out in this wise 32 Doost thou not see in what secure estate Those florishing faire Westerne parts remaine As if they had made couenaunt with Fate To be exempted free from others paine At-one with their desires friends with Debate In peace with Pride content with their owne gaine Their bounds containe their minds their minds appli'd To haue their bounds with plentie beautifi'd 33 Deuotion mother of Obedience Beares such a hand on their credulitie That it abates the spirit of eminence And busies them with humble pietie For see what workes what infinite expence What monuments of zeale they edifie As if they would so that no stop were found Fill all with Temples make all holy ground 34 But wee must coole this all-belieuing zeale That hath enioy'd so faire a turne so long And other reuolutions must reueale Other desires other designes among Dislike of this first by degrees shall steale Vpon the soules of men perswaded wrong And that abused Power which thus hath wrought Shall giue herselfe the sword to cut her throat 35 Goe therefore thou with all thy stirring traine Of swelling Sciences the gifts of griefe Go loose the links of that soule-binding chaine Inlarge this vninquisitiue Beliefe Call-vp mens spirits that simplenes retaine Enter their harts Knowledge make the thiefe To open all the doores to let in light That all may all things see but what is right 36 Opinion Arme against Opinion growne Make new-borne Contradiction still to rise As if Thebes-founder Cadmus tongues had sowne Instead of teeth for greater mutinies Bring new-defended Faith against Faith knowne Weary the Soule with contrarieties Till all Religion become retrograde And that faire tire the maske of sinne be made 37 And better to effect a speedy end Let there be found two fatall Instruments The one to publish th' other to defend Impious Contention and proud Discontents Make that instamped Characters may send Abroad to thousands thousand mens intent And in a moment may dispatch much more Then could a world of Pennes performe before 38 Whereby all quarrels titles secrecies May vnto all be presently made knowne Factions prepar'd parties allur'd to rise Sedition vnder faire pretentions sowne Whereby the vulgar may become so wise That with a self-presumption ouer-growne They may of deepest mysteries debate Controule their betters censure actes of State 39 And then when this dispersed mischiefe shall Haue brought confusion in each mysterie Call'd-vp contempt of states in generall Ripened the humor of impiety Then haue they th' other Engin where-with-all They may torment their selfe-wrought miserie And scourge each other in so strange a wise As time or Tyrants neuer could deuise 40 For by this stratagem they shall confound All th' antient ●orme and discipline of Warre Alter their Camps alter their fights their ground Daunt mightie spirits prowes●e and manhood marre For basest cowardes from a far shall wound The most couragious forc't to fight afarre Valour wrapt vp in smoake as in the night Shall perish without witnesse without fight 41 But first before this generall disease Breake foorth into so great extreamitie Prepare it by degrees first kill this ease Spoyle this proportion marre this harmonie Make greater States vpon the lesser seaze Ioyne many kingdomes to one soueraigntie Rayse a few Great that may with greater power Slaughter each other and mankinde deuour 42 And first begin with factions to diuide The fairest Land that from her thrusts the rest As if she car'd not for the world beside A world within her selfe with wonders blest Raise such a strife as time shall not decide Till the deare blood of most of all her best Be poured foorth and all her people tost With vnkinde tumults and almost all lost 43 Let her be made the sable Stage whereon Shall first be acted bloodie Tragedies That all the neighbour States gazing thereon May make their profite by her miseries And those whom she before had marcht vpon Hauing by this both time and meane to rise Made martiall by her Armes shall growe so great As saue their owne no force shall them defeat 44 That when their power vnable to sustaine And beare it selfe vpon it selfe shall fall She may recouered for her wounds againe Sit and behold their Parts as tragicall For there must come a time that shall obtaine Truce for distresse when make-peace Hymen shall Bring the conioyned aduerse powers to bed And set the Crowne made one vpon one head 45 Out of which blessed vnion shall arise A sacred branch with grace and glory blest Whose Virtue shall her Land so patronize As all our power shall not her dayes molest For shee faire shee the Minion of the skies Shall purchase of the highest to hers such rest Standing betweene the wrath of heauen and them As no distresse shall touch her D●adem 46 And from the Rockes of Safetie shall descrie The wondrous wracks that Wrath layes ruined All round about her blood and miserie Powres betray'd Princes slaine Kings massacred States all-confus'd brought to calamitie And all the face of Kingdomes altered Yet she the same inuiolable stands Deare to her owne wonder to other Lands 47 But let not her defence discourage thee For neuer one but shee shall haue

replyes As the rebounding Eccho streight through-out From Towre to Towre reuerberated flyes To th' eares of those great Lords who sate about The consultation for this enterprise Whose care is sav'd which most they stood vpon For what they counsell how too doe is done 108 And nothing now but to confirme him king Remaines which must not long remaine to do The present heare doth strait dispatch the thing With all those solemne rites that long thereto So that what Yorke with all his trauayling Force and intrusion could not get vnto Is now thus freely layd vpon his sonne Who must make faire what fowlly was begunne 109 Whos 's end attayn'd had it here made an end Of foule destruction and had stay'd the bloud Which Towton Exham Tewksbury did spend With desp'rate hands and deeper wounds withstood And that none other Crowne brought to contend With that of his had made his seeme lesse good How had this long-afflicted Land been blest Our sighes had ended and my Muse had rest 110 Which now but little past halfe her long way Stands trembling at the horrors that succeed Weary with these embroylements faine would stay Her farther course vnwilling to proceed And faine to see that glorious holy-day Of Vnion which this discord reagreed Knowes not as yet what to resolue vpon Whether to leaue-off here or else go-on The end of the seauenth Booke THE EIGHTTH BOOKE THE ARGVMENT King Edward Powre against King Henry led And hath at Towton-field the victory From whence King Henry into Scotland fled Where he attempts his States recouery Stea'es into England is discouered Brought Prisoner to the Towre disgracefully And Edward whiles great Warwick doth assay A Match in France marries the Lady Grey 1 ON yet sad Verse though those bright starres from whence Thou hadst thy light are set for euermore And that these times do not like grace dispense To our indeuours as those did before Yet on since She whose beames do reincense This sacred fire seemes as reseru'd in store To raise this Worke and here to haue my last Who had the first of all my labours past 2 On with her blessed fauour and relate With what new bloud-shed this new chosen Lord Made his first entry to th' afflicted State Past his first Act of publique with the sword Ingor'd his new-worne Crowne and how he gat Possession of affliction and restor'd His Right vnto a Royall miserie Maintained with as bloudy dignitie 3 Shew how our great Pharsalian Field was fought At Towton in the North the greatest day Of ruine that dissension euer brought Vnto this Kingdom where two Crownes did sway The worke of slaughter two Kings Causes wrought Destruction to our People by the waie Of their affections and their loyalties As if one for these ills could not suffise 4 Where Lancaster and that couragious side That noble constant Part came furnished With such a Powre as might haue terrifi'd And ouer-run the earth had they been led The way of glory where they might haue tri'd For th' Empire of all Europe as those did The Macedonian led into the East Their number being double at the least 5 And where braue Yorke comes as compleatly mand With courage valour and with equall might Prepar'd to trie with a resolued hand The metall of his Crown and of his Right Attended with his fatall fier-brand Of Warre Warwicke that blazing starre of fight The Comet of destruction that portends Confusion and distresse what way he tends 6 What rage what madness England do we see That this braue people in such multitude Run to confound themselues and all to be Thus mad for Lords and for meere Seruitude What might haue been if Roman-like and free These gallant Spirits had nobler ends pursu'd And strayn'd to points of glory and renowme For good of the Republique and their owne 7 But here no Cato with a Senate stood For Common-wealth nor here were any sought T'emancipate the State for publique good But onely headlong for their faction wrought Here euery man runs-on to spend his bloud To get but what he had already got For whether Pompey or a Caesar wonne Their state was euer sure to be all one 8 And first before these fatall Armies met Had forward Warwicke lay'd the passage free At Ferry Brigges where the Lord Clifford set With an aduentrous gallant companie To guard that streight Yorkes farther march to let Began the Scene to this great Tragedie Made the first entrance on the Stage of blood Which now set wide for wounds all open stood 9 When Edward to exhort his men began With words whereto both spirit and Maiestie His pers'nage gave for-that he was a man Besides a King whose Crowne sate gracefully Com'n is the day sayd he wherin who can Obtaine the best is Best this day must try Who hath the wrong and whence our ills haue beene And t is our swords must make vs honest men 10 For though our Cause by God and men allow'd Hath in it honor right and honestie Yet all as nothing is to be avow'd Vnless withall we haue the victorie For Iustice is we see a virtue proud And leanes to powre and leaues weake miserie And therefore seeing the case we now stand in We must resolue either to dy or winne 11 So that if any here doth finde his heart To fayle him for this noble worke or stands Irresolute this day let him depart And leaue his Armes behind for worthier hands I knowe e now will stay to doo their part Here to redeeme themselues wiues children landes And haue the glory that thereby shall rise To free their Country from these miseries 12 But here what needed wordes to blowe the fire In flame already and inkindled so As when it was proclaym'd they might retire Who found vnwillingnes to vnder-goe That ventrous worke they all did so conspire To stand out Fortune that not one would goe To beare away a hand from bloud not one Defraud the Field of th' euill might be done 13 Where VVarwicke too producing in their sight An argument whereby he did conclude There was no hope of safetie but by fight Doth sacrifize his horse to Fortitude And thereby did the least conceipt of flight Or any succour by escape exclude Se'ing in the streight of a necessitie The meanes to win is t' haue no meanes to flye 14 It was vpon the twi-light of that day That peacefull day when the Religious beare The Oliue-branches as they go to pray And we in lieu the blooming Palmes vse here When both the Armies ready in array For th' early sacrifize of blood appeare Prepar'd for mischiefe ere they had full light To see to doo it and to doo it right 15 Th' aduantage of the time and of the winde Which both with Yorke seeme as retayn'd in pay Braue Faulconbridge takes hold-on and assign'd The Archers their flight-shafts to shoote away Which th' aduerse side with sleet and dimnesse blinde Mistaken in the distance of
