by wrong attaine the Crowne T' was without cryes it cost but little bloud But Yorke by his attempt hath ouer-throwne All the best glorie wherein England stood And did his state by her vndooing winne And was though white without yet red within 35 And thus he hath it and is now to deale For th' intertaining and continuance Of mens affections and to seeke to heale Those foul corruptions which the maintenance Of so long wars bred in the Common-weale He must remunerate prefer aduance His chiefest friendes and prosecute with might The aduerse part doo wrong to doo men right 36 Whil'st Martiall Margaret with her hopefull Sonne Is trauailing in France to purchase ayde And plots and toiles and nothing leaues vndone Though all in vaine For being thus ouer-layd By Fortune and the Time all that is done Is out out of season For she must haue stay'd Till that first heate of mens affections which They beare new Kings were laid and not so much 37 When they should finde that they had gayn'd no more Then th'Asse by changing of his Maisters did Who still must labour as he vs'd before And those expectancies came frustrated Which they had set vpon th' imagin'd score Of their accounts and had considered How that it did but little benefite The Doues To change the Falcon for the Kite 38 And yet braue Queene for three yeares of his Raigne Thou gau'st him little breathing time of rest But still his miseries didst entertaine With new attempts and new assaults addrest And at thy now-returne from France againe Suppli'd with forces once more gatheredst An Army for the Field and brought'st to warre The scattered parts of broken Lancaster 39 And once againe at Exham ledst them on With Scots and French t'another bloody day And there beheldst thy selfe againe vndone With all that Rest whereon thy fortunes lay Where Somerset late to King Edward gone And got his pardon hauing scap't away With noble Percie came to bring their blood Vnto thy side whereto they first had stood 40 Where the Lords Molines Rosse and Hungerford With many else of noble Families Extinguisht were and many that daies sword Cut-off their names in their posterities Where fled againe their lucklesse followed Lord And is so neere pursu'd by th' enemies As th'Ensigne of his Crowne was seiz'd vpon For him who had before his Kingdome wonne 41 And shortly after too his person gat For he now wearied with his long exile And miseries abrode grew passionate With longing to returne t' his natiue soyle And se'ing he could not do the same in State He seekes disguis'd in fashion to beguile The world a time and steale the libertie And sight of his deare Country priuately 42 As if there were for a pursued King A couert left on earth wherein to hide When Powre and Iealousie are trauailing And lay to catch affliction on each side Misfortune serues we see for euery thing And soon he comes God knows to be descry'd And Edward hath the booty he desir'd For whose establishment all things conspir'd 43 Yet long it was not ere a fire began To take in th'inwardst Closet where he lay'd The treasure of his chiefest trust and ran From thence through al his State before it s●aid For be'ing a King who his whole fortunes wan With others handes must many leaue vnpay'd And could not fill vp that vast greedinesse Of Expectation which is bottomlesse 44 Though he did all the best that in him lay As a most actiue Prince to satisfie The int'rest of their trauayles and defray The bands contracted twixt his soueraignty And the Republick seeking to allay All greeuances re●order equity Reform the Barres that Iustice did abuse Lay easie on the State as new Kings vse 45 As he who hauing found great Treasury The first yeare offers with most gratefull cheere A sheepe of gold to Iunoes deity And next of siluer for the second yeare The third of brasse and then neglectiuely Nothing at all So those respects which were Borne of a present feeling mov'd him most But soon were with their times and motiues lost 46 And what his bounty could not recompense He payes with honors and with dignities And more to angle the beneuolence And catch the loue of men with curtesies He oft would make his dignity dispense With his too lowe familiarities Descending from his Sphere of Maiesty Beneath himselfe very submissiuely 47 And when he had dispos'd in some good traine His home affaires he counsells how t' aduance His forraine correspondence with the chaine Of some alliance that might countenance His Greatnesse and his quiet intertaine Which was thought fittest with some match of France To hold that Kingdome from subayding such Who else could not subsist nor hope so much 48 Nor was it now a time to haue contrast With any forrain mighty Potentate But keep the outer doores of each side fast Hauing so much to doo within his State And therevpon was Warwicke by whose cast All must be wrought imploy'd to mediate A present Marriage to be had betweene Him and the sister of the yong French Queene 49 Which was not long nor hard to bring to passe Where like respects met in a point alike So that the same as euen concluded was And all as done Lady and friends all like When Loue the Lord of Kings by whom must passe This Act of our Affections tooke dislike That he was not made priuy thereunto And therfore in his wrath would all vndoe 50 For whiles this youthfull Prince at his disport In Grafton woods retyr'd from publick care Attending how his sute in France did sorte Whereon his cogitations onely were He comes at home surpris'd in other sort A neerer fire in flam'd his passions heere An English Beautie with more worth indu'd Then France could yeeld his royall heart subdu'd 51 A wofull widdow whom his quarrell had As it had many moe made desolate Came to his Court in mournfull habit clad To sue for Iustice to relieue her state And entring as a suppliant all sad With gracefull sorrow and a comely gate She past the Presence where all eyes were cast On her more stately presence as she past 52 Her lookes not let-abrode but carefully Kept in restraind held their reseruednesse Obseruing none but her owne dignity And his to whom she did her selfe addresse And drawing neere his royall Maiesty A blush of reuerence not bashfulnesse Lightned her louely cheeks and downe she kneeles Giues her Petition for the wrongs she feeles 53 And in deliv'ring it lifts vp her eyes The mouingst Mediatours shee could bring And strait with drawes them in submissiue wise Not fixing them directly on the King Who mov'd with her sweet fashion bade her rise With gentle language full of comforting Read her request but thought not what he read The lines hee view'd her eyes had figured 54 Then paus'd a while and mus'd as if he weigh'd The substance of her sute The which God wote Was not the
