the king hath overcome the knave . not long ago a game was play'd , when three crowns at the stake was lay'd , england had no cause to boast , knaves won that which kings had lost : coaches gave the way to carts , and clubs were better cards than hearts ; &c. old noll was the knave o' th clubs , and dad of such as preach in tubs : bradshaw , ireton , and pride , were three other knaves beside : and they play'd with half the pack , throwing out all cards but black ; &c. but the just fates threw these four out , which made the loyal party shout , the pope would fain have had the stock , and with these cards have whip'd his deck , but soon the devil these card snatches , to dip in brimstone and make matches ; to dip ; &c. but still the sport for to maintain , lambert , haslerige , and vain , and one-ey'd hewson , took their places , knaves were better cards then aces : but fleetwood he himself did save , because he was more fool than knave ; &c. cromwell , though he so much had won , yet he had an unlucky son : he sits still and not regards , whilst cunning gamesters set the cards , and thus alas , poor silly dick , he playd a while ; but lost the trick ; &c. the rumpers that had won whole towns , the spoyls of martyrs , and of crowns : were not contented but grew rough , as though they had not won enough ; they kept the cards still in their hands , to play for tithes and colledge lands ; to play ; &c. the presbyters began to fret , that they were like to loose the set , unto the rump they did appeal , and said it was their turns to deal , then dealt the presbyterians , but , the army sware that they will cut ; the army sware that they will cut . the forraign lands began to wonder , to see what gallants we lived under , that they which christmas did forswear , should follow gameing all the year : nay more , which was the strangest thing , to play so long without a king ; to play so long without a king. the bold phanaticks present were , like butlers , with their boxes there : not doubting but that every game some profit would redound to them : because they were the gamester's minions , and every day broacht new opinions ; &c. but cheshire men ( as stories say ) began to shew them gamesters play : brave booth , and all his army strives to save the stakes or lose their lives : but oh sad fate , they were undone , by playing of their cards too soon : &c. thus all the while a club was trump , there 's none could ever beat the rump : until a noble general came , and gave the cheaters a clear slam : his finger did out-wit their noddy , and screw'd up poor iack lamberts body , &c. then hasllrige began to scowl : and said the general plaid foul : look to him partners , for i tell ye , this monk has got a king in 's belly : not so , quoth monk , but i believe sir arthur has a knave in 's sleeve , &c. when general monk did understand the rump were peeping into 's hand : he wisely kept his cards from sight , which put the rump into a fright : he saw how many were betray'd . that shew'd their cards before they play'd , &c. at length , quoth he , some cards we lack , i will not play with half a pack : what you cast out , i will bring in , and a new game we will begin : with that the standers by did say , they never yet saw fairer play ; &c. but presently this game was past , and for a second knaves were cast ; all new cards , not stain'd with spots , as was the rumpers and the scots : here good gamesters plaid their parts , they turned up the king of hearts ; &c. after this game was done , i think : the standers by had cause to drink : and the loyal subjects sing , farewel knaves , and welcome king : for till we saw the king return'd , we wish'd the cards had all been burn'd ;

the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the text encoding initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). the eebo-tcp project was divided into two phases. the , texts created during phase of the project have been released into the public domain as of january . anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. users should be aware of the process of creating the tcp texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. text selection was based on the new cambridge bibliography of english literature (ncbel). if an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in ncbel, then their works are eligible for inclusion. selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. in general, first editions of a works in english were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably latin and welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in oxford and michigan. % (or pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet qa standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. after proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of instances per text. any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of tcp data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a tcp editor. the texts were encoded and linked to

when as i had got silver plentifully , i did not regard how fast i let it flye : for sometimes i 've spend , and sometimes i've lend , but the longest day now i see must have an end : for now , &c. sometimes in the ale-house a week i would sit , if i with good-fellows did chance for to meet ; vntill all my money was wasted and gone , then it was high time to turn out and go home : my proud hostis she , would look scornful on me , and tell me she did not love such company : but now , &c. doll cleanly that lives in the middle of the town , hath first and last of me had many a crown ; if then i did come to her and bring store of money , and call apace for drink , on me she 'd look bonny : both early and late a boozing i have sat , but my hostis and i now is in great debate : for now , &c. too much unto gameing my self i would use , there was no kind of exercise i did refuse ; a crown or an angle i have lost on a day , which would have been better kept then thrown away : then beer it was plenty , no flaggons stood empty , sometimes on the board stood full eighteen or twenty : but now , &c. such idle courses i us'd always to take , for little account of my money i 've make ; i would call for strong tipple and make my heart merry , but now of such actions truly i am weary : though thred-bare i went , with my cloaths torn & rent yet i to the ale-house would always frequent : but now , &c. my landladys they would seem loving to be , if that they saw money was plenty with me ;

i aske her to trust me , but she answered nay , enough of such guests i can have every day : then quoth she , pray forbear there 's no staying here , except you have money you shall have no beer . but now , &c. i pull'd out a handful of money straightway , and shew'd it unto her , to hear what she 'd say ;

't is true : there many goes in silke , and have their linnen white as milke , and yet perhaps not worth a groat , but much like you , will lye and prate : the proverbe of a serving-man , as alwayes i doe understand . in prime of yéeres hee 'l roare and swagger , and being growne old he turnes a begger . the serving-man . why should a plough-man me deface , and urge me with such foule disgrace ▪ i dare to challenge you sir foole , to méet me at the fencing-schoole : i will not so out-braved be , nor ranke with such base pedigrée , i am a man of courage bold , by plough-men i le not be control'd , the second part . to the same tune . the plough-man . indeed you are of perfect mettle , your nose shines like a copper kettle , t is true you are of courage bold , the pipe and pot you will uphold , you hold it rare to drinke and smoake , all this is true which i have spoke : but 't is a husbandmans delight , to worke all day and sleepe all night . the serving-man . we have no labour toyle and care , we serving-men no drudges are , our care is for the chiefest pleasure , which seemes to us a daily treasure : my ladies waiting-maid most fine , with us doth often sup and dine , sometimes a courtesie we crave , a kisse or so , and this wee have . the plough-man . if you the proverb truly mark , ioan● is as good as my lady in'th dark , a country lasse in russet gray , with h●r i love to sport and play : o she will dance and sweetly sing , much like the nightingale in spring . she 's fresh and faire , and firme and sound . in her much pleasure may be found . the serving-man . well countrie-man my mind is brave , i will not yeeld to what you crave : no plough man ere shall make me yéeld , i will not so much be compeld : my youthfull dayes yeelds me much ioyes , my nights i passe with merry toyes : my time is pleasure and delight , which i doe spend with ladies bright . the plough-man . o hold thy peace , thy fond delight doth passe away like day or night . thy aged head appearing gray , then doth thy pleasure soone decay , then from thy service must thou packe , and all things quickly wilt thou lacke : then warning take ere it be long , and learne to worke while thou art young the serving man . why should i labour , toyle , or care , since i am fed with dainty fare ? my gelding i have for to ride , my cloake my good sword by my side , my bootes and spurres shining like gold , like those whose names are high inrold : what pleasure more can any crave , then such content as i now haue ? the plough-man . t is true indeed , thy pleasure 's great , and i have what i get by sweat , my labour gives my heart content , and i doe live in merriment . he that true labour takes in hand , doth farre surpasse the serving-man , he passeth some with house and lands , when that decayes , he cryes , helpe hands . the serving-man . thy reasons i have understood . and what thou speak'st is very good . i would i were a plough man now , and labour could at cart and plough , then would i work and till the land , and never more be serving man , for what they have is truly got , they are contented with their lot . thus to conclude and make an end , let none with husband-men contend : you see here yeelds a loftie mind , and to good counsell is inclin'd . thus will we all like lovers gree , the painfull man shall p●●ised be , for by the labour of the hand , we doe receive fruits from the land . r ▪ c finis ▪ printed at london for f. coules dwelling in the old baily . the life and death of the famous thomas stukely an english gallant in time of queen elizabeth, who ended his life in a battel [o]f three kings of barbary. tune is, king henry's going to bulloign, &c. life and death of famous thomas stukely johnson, richard, - ? approx. kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from -bit group-iv tiff page image. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ; oxford (uk) : - (eebo-tcp phase ). a wing j d estc n this keyboarded and encoded edition of the work described above is co-owned by the institutions providing financial support to the early english books online text creation partnership. this phase i text is available for reuse, according to the terms of creative commons . universal . the text can be copied, modified, distributed and performed, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission. early english books online.

she was quickly made his wife , in weal or woe to lead her life ; her father willing ; thereto did agree . thus in state and leasure , full many days they measure , till cruel death with his regardless spight , bore old curtis to the grave , a thing that stukely wisht to have , that he might revel all in gold so bright . he was no sooner tombed , but stukely he presumed , to spend a hundred pound a day in waste ; the greatest gallants in the land had stukely's purse at their command , thus merrily the time away he past . taverns and ordinaries , were his chief braveries , golden angels there flew up and down ; ryots were his best delight , with stately feasting day and night , in court and city thus he won renown . thus wasting lands and living , by this lawless giving , at length he sold the pavements of the yard , which cover'd were with blocks of tin , old curtis left the same to him , which he consumed lately as you have heard . whereat his wife sore grieved , desiring to be relieved . ' make much of me dear husband , she did say . ' i 'll make much more of thee ( said he ) ' than any one shall verily , ' i 'll sell thy cloaths , and so i 'll go my way . truly thus hard hearted away from her he parted , and travell'd into italy with speed ; there he flourisht many a day , in his silks and rich array , and did the pleasures of a lady feed , it was the lady's pleasure , to give him goods and treasure , for to maintain him in great pomp and fame ; at last came news assuredly , of a fought battel in barbary , and he would valiantly go see the same . many a noble gallant . sold both land and talent to fallow stukely in his famous fight ; whereas three kings in person would adventurously with courage bold , within this battel shew themselves in fight . stukely , and his followers all of the king of portugal , had entertainment like to gentlemen ; the king affected stukely so , that he his sacrets all did know , and boar his royal standard now and then . upon this day of honour , each man did shew his banner , morocco , and the king of barbary : portugal , and all his train , bravely glittering on the plain , and gave the on●ct there most valiantly . the cannons they rebounded , thundring guns relounded , kill , kill , then was all the souldiers cry ; mangled men lay on the ground , and with blood the earth was drown'd , the sun likewise was darkned in the sky . heaven was so displeased , and would not be appeased , but tokens of god's wrath did show , that he was angry at this war , he sent a fearful blazing-star , whereby the kings might their misfortunes know . bloody was the slaughter , or rather wilful murder , where six score thousand fighting men were slain : three kings within this battle dy'd , with forty dukes and earls beside , the like will never more be fought again . with woful arms infolding , stukely stood beholding this bloody sacrifice of souls that day : he singing said , ' i woful wight , ' against my conscience here do fight , ' and brought my followers unto decay . being thus molested and with grief oppressed , those brrave italians that did sell their lands , with stukely for to travel forth , and venture life for little worth , upon him all did lay their murdering hands . unto death thus wounded his heart with sorrow swounded : and to them thus he made his heavy moan , thus have i left my country dear , to be so vilely murthered here . e'en in this place whereas i am not known . my wife i have much wronged of what to her belonged , i vainly spent in idle course of life ; whaat i have had is past i see , and bringeth nought but grief to me , therefore grant me pardon gentle wife . life i see consumeth , and death i see presumeth , to change this life of mine into a new : yet this my greatest comfort brings , i liv'd and dy'd in love of kings : and so brave stukely bids the world adiu . stukely's life thus ended , was after death befriended , and like a souldier buried gallantly : where now there stands upon the grave , a stately temple builded brave , with golden turrets piersiing to the sky . printed by and for c. b. and sold by j. walter , at the hand and pen in holborn . a paire of turtle doves, or, a dainty new scotch dialogue between a yong-man and his mistresse, both correspondent in affection, &c. to a pretty pleasant tune, called the absence of my mistresse, or i live not where i love. m. p.

shewing how miraculously the true heire came to enioy his inheritance . to the tune of , chevy chace . in searching ancient chronicles , it was my chance to finde a story worth the writing out , in my conceit and mind ; it is an admonition good , that children ought to haue , with reuerence for to thinke vpon their parents laid in graue . in thracia liu'd a gentleman , of noble progeny , who rul'd his houshold with great fame and true integrity ; this gentleman did take to wife , a neat and gallant dame , whose outward shew and beauty bright did many hearts inflame . the luster that came from her lookes , her carriage and her grace , like beautious cynthia did outshine each lady in that place ; and being puffed vp in pride , with ease and iollity , her husband could not her content , she other men must try . lasciuiously long time she liu'd , yet bore it cunningly , for she had those that watcht so well , that he could nought espy ; with bribes and gifts she so bewitcht the hearts of some were néere , that they conceal'd her wickednesse , and kept it from her deare . thus spending of her time away in extreme wantonnesse , her priuate friends when she did please , vnto her had accesse ; but the all séeing eye of heauen , such sinnes will not conceale , and by some meanes at last will he the truth of all reueale . vpon a time sore sicke she fell , yea to the very death , and her physician told her plaine , she must resigne her brèath ; diuines did likewise visit her , and holy counsell gaue , and bade her call vpon the lord , that he her soule might saue . amongst the rest , she did desire they would her husband bring , i haue a secret to reueale , ( she said ) my heart doth s●ing ; then he came posting presently , vnto her where she lay , and wéeping , then he did desire , what she to him would say ? she did intreat that all might voyd the roome , and he would stay : your pardon , husband , i beséech , ( vnto him she did say ; ) for i haue wrong'd your marriage bed , and plaid the wanton wife , to you the truth i will reueale , ere i depart this life , foure hopefull sonnes you think you haue , to me it best is knowne , and thrée of them are none of yours , of foure but one's your owne ; and by your selfe on me begot , which hath so wanton béen , these dying teares forgiuenesse beg , let mercy then be seene . this stroke her husband in a dumpe , his heart was almost dead , but rouzing of his spirits vp , these words to her he said ; i doe forgiue thée with my heart , so thou the truth wilt tell , which of the foure is my owne sonne , and all things shall be well . o pardon me , my husband deare , vnto him she did say , they are my children euery one , and so she went away . away he goes with heauy heart , his griefes he did conceale , and like a wise and prudent man , to none did it reueale . not knowing which to be his owne , each of his loue did share , and to be train'd in vertues paths , of them he had a care ; in learning great and gentle grace , they were brought vp and taught , such deare affection in the hearts of parents god hath wrought . they now were grown to mens estates , and liu'd most gallantly ; each had his horse , his hawke , his hound and did their manhood try ; the ancient man did ioy thereat , but yet he did not know , which was his sonne amongst the foure that bred in him much woe . at length his glasse of life was run , the fates doe so decrée . for poore and rich they all must dye , and death will take no fée ; vnto some iudges he did send , and counsell that were graue , who presently to him did come , to know what he would haue . they comming then to his beds side , vnto them he did say , i know you all to be my friends , most faithfull euery way ; and now before i leaue the world , i beg this at your hands , to haue a care which of my sonnes shall haue my goods and lands . and to them all he did relate what things his wife had done ; there is but one amongst the foure that is my natiue sonne ; and to your iudgement i commit , when i am laid in graue , which is my sonne , and which is fit my lands and goods to haue . he dying , they in councell sa●e what best were to be done , for 't was a taske of great import , to iudge which was his sonne : the brothers likewise were at strife , which should the liuing haue ; when as the ancient man was dead , and buried in his graue . the iudges must decide the cause , and thus they did decrée , the dead mans body vp to take , and tye it to a trée ; a bow each brother he must haue , and eke an arrow take , to shoot at their dead fathers corps , as if he were a stake . and he whose arrow néerest hit his heart as he did stand , they 'd iudge him for to be right heire , and fit to haue the land : on this they all did streight agrée , and to the field they went , each had a man his shaft to beare , and bow already bent . now ( quoth the iudges ) try your skill vpon your father there , that we may quickly know who shall vnto the land be heire ; the eldest tooke his bow in hand , and shaft where as he stood , which pierc'd so déep the dead mans brest that it did run with blood . the second brother then must shoot , who straight did take his aime , and with his arrow made a wound , that blood came from the same : the third likewise must try his skill , the matter to decide , whose shaft did make a wound most déep into the dead mans side . vnto the fourth and youngest then , a bow and shaft was brought ; who said , dée thinke that are my heart could harbour such a thought , to shoot at my deare fathers heart , although that he be dead , for all the kingdomes in the world that farre and wide are spred ? and turning of him round about , the teares ran downe amaine , he flung his bow vpon the ground , and broke his shaft in twaine : the iudges séeing his remorse , they then concluded all , he was the right , the other thrée , they were vnnaturall . and so he straight possest the lands , being made the heire of all , and heauen by nature in this kind , vnto his heart did call ; his brothers they did enuy him , but yet he néed not care , and of his wealth in portions large , vnto them he did share . finis . printed at london for h. g. a pleasant new song of the backes complaint, for bellies wrong, or, a farwell to good fellowship to the tune of a,b,c / [edward cutler] cutler, edward. approx. kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from -bit group-iv tiff page image. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ;

knowes , the learn'd in this science are taught by probation : this truth when i finde , it puts me in minde , among many matters which i am conceiting , of one homely adage , that 's vs'd in this mad age , the proofe of a pudding is all in the eating . although this my subiect séeme homely and meane , yet you that with iudgement wil confirme the matter , some eares of good documents from it may gleane , which i from this sheafe of inuention will scatter : now cunning and fraud winnes greatest applaude , and vnder wits cloake many shelter their cheating , but try and then trust , for the world is vniust , and the proofe of a pudding is all in the eating . the knaw and the honest man both are compleat , in gesture , in words , and in company kéeping , nay commonly they who doe meane most deceit , more easily into mens bosomes are creeping : with counterfeit tales , which too much preuailes , and proffers of courtesie often repeating , but speake as you finde , and still beare in minde , that the proofe of a pudding is all in the eating . mens promises may be compared to snow , or ice at the best , by cold weather congealed , they 're hard in the morning , at noone nothing so , though with protestations their minds are reuealed : yet when the hot beames , of disasterous streames , doth melt their intentions ▪ then they 'l be fléeting ▪ their words differ cleane , from what they doe meane , but the proofe of a pudding is all in the eating . there be of both sexes that haue faire outsides , like iayes with the feathers of peacocks adorned , a faire fute of scarlet , or plush , often hides a carkasse infirme with diseases deformed : and now in these times , men couer their crimes , with shadowes of vertue , their braines still beating , which way to doe naught , and yet hide their fault , but the proofe of a pudding is all in the eating . there 's many thrasonicall pratling jacks , that vpon their ale-bench will tell braue discourses , were ajax aliue they would not turne their backs , their tongues shall supply the defect of their purses : ●ut take them at their words , they 'l scant draw their swords , instead of brauadoes they fall to intreating : but giue me that blade , that does more than he said . for the proofe of a pudding is all in the eating the second part to the same tune . when i doe want nothing i haue store of friends , i mean friends in shadow but nothing substantiall : if i will beleeue euery one that pretends , i shal haue more courtesie than any man shall : but when i haue néed to vse them indéed , like cowardly souldiers they fall to retreating , but he is my friend , that helps me i' th end , for the proofe of a pudding is all in the eating . there 's many in company boast of their skill , in wonderfull misteries secret and hidden , you may giue beleefe to their words if you will , vpon winged pegasus oft they haue ridden : if any in place will vnto their face oppose them with boldnesse , their proiects defeating , their courage will quaile , and they i tel a new tale for the proofe of a pudding , &c. i haue séene a gallant attyr'd like a lord , yet often through want hée 's inforct to be spareing : hée 's daily a guest at duke humphryes bord , and sometimes he filleth his belly with swearing : i haue séne likewise , a plaine man in frize , or good mutton-veluet that glisters with sweating , hée cals and he payes , and he meanes as he sayes , thus the proofe of a pudding is all in the eating . there 's many that when they affliction doe féele , as pouerty , sicknesse , and other disasters , then vnto their friends they will humbly knéele . and say , vnder heauen they are their best masters : but when through those frends their misery ends , ingratefully all former kindnesse forgetting , they them doe disdaine , who did them maintaine , thus the proofe of a pudding , &c. there are many men when they first come a wooing to widowes or maidens with great protestations , such wonderfull courtesies they 'l then be showing , and they silly creatures beléeue their relations : their loue 's very hot , vntil they haue got the thing that they wish by their subtile intreating , then they proue vnkinde , and poore women doe finde that the proofe of a pudding is all in the eating . thus briefely and plainely i haue here expressed , my mind and conceit of this prouerbe so homely , wherein at the truth very n●●re i haue guessed , and deckt it in ornaments decent and comely : i hope it will sell abroad very well , with those who loue truth , and abhor all cheating , till tryall be made , no more can

began to scowle , it hailde and rainde in pittious sort : the way was long and wonderous foule , then may i full well report their griefe and sorrow was not small , when this vnhappy chance did fall . sometime the dutchesse bore the child , as wet as euer she could be , and when the ladie kinde and milde was wearie , then the childe bore he : and thus they one another casde , and with their fortunes were well pleasde . and after many wearied steppes , all wet-shod both in dyrt and myre : after much griefe their heart it leapes , for labour doth some rest require , a towne before them they did see . but lodgd therein they could not be . from house to house they both did goe , seeking where they that night might lie , but want of money was their woe , and still the babe with colde

himselfe a kingdom cleere . but naught at all could he preuaile , his armie alwaies had the worst : such griefe did then his hart asaile , he thought himselfe of god accurst . and therefore falling

come to him in heauie case , being at poynt to breath his last . when this word came vnto our king , the newes did make him wondrous woe : and vnto vnto him he sent his ring , where he in person would

king a cup of spiced ●le : a deadliar or ●●ght was neuer offered man , yet this false monke vnto the king began . which when the king without mistrust did see , he tooke the cup of him most courteously : but while he held the poisoned cup in hand , our noble king amazed much did stand . for casting downe by chance his princely eye , on pretious iewels which he had full nye : he saw the colour of each pretious stone , most strangely turne and alter one by one . their orient brighnesse to a pale dead hue , were changed quite , the cause no person knew and such a sweat did ouerspread them all , as stood like dew which on faire flowers fall , and hereby was their pretious natures tride , for precious stones foule poyson cannot bide but though our king beheld their colour pale , mistrusted not the poyson in the ale. for why the monke the taste before him tooke nor knew the king how ill he did it brooke . and therefore he a hartie draught did take , which of his life a quicke dispatch did make . th' infectious drinke fumd vp into his head : and through the veines into the heart it spred , distempering the pure vnspotted braine , that doth in man his memorie maintaine . then felt the king an extreame grief to grow , through all his intrels being infected so : wherby he knew through anguish which he felt the monks with him most traiterously had delt . the grones he gaue did mak al men to wonder , he cast as if his heart would split in sunder , and still he cald while he thereon did thinke , for that false monke which brought y e deadly drinke . and thē his lords went searching round about in euerie place to find this traytor out : at length they found him dead as any stone , within a corner lying all alone . for hauing tasted of that poysoned cup , whereof our king the residue drunke vp , the enuious monk himself to death did bring that he thereby might kill our royall king . but when the king with wonder hard thē tel , the monks dead body did with poyson swel : why then my lords ful quickly now quoth he , a breathlesse king you shall among you see . behold he said my vaines in peeces cracke , a grieuous torment feele i in my backe : and by this poyson deadly and accurst , i feele my heart strings ready for to burst . with that his eyes did turne within his head : a pale dead colour through his face did spread , and lying gasping with a cold faint breath , the royall king was ouercome by death . his mournful lords which stood about him thē withal their force and troopes of warlike men : to worcester the corpes they did conueye , with drumbe & trumpet marching al y e waye . and in the faire cathedrall church i find , they buried him according to their mind : most pompiously best fitting for a king , who wer aplauded greatly for

therefore queene mother think no ill , in me or them for their good will. then diuers lords without delay , went to the king whereas he lay : declaring how the matetr stood . and how the peeres did think it good : to chuse his sonne there king to bee , if that he would thereto agree : for to resigne the princely crowne , and all his title of renowne : if otherwise they told him plaine , a stranger should the same attaine . this dolefull tidings most vnkind , did sore afflict king edwards mind : but when he saw no remedie , he did vnto their wils agree : and bitterly he did lament saying the lord this plague had sent : for his offence and vanitie , which he would suffer patiently . beseeching all the lords at last . for to forgiue him all was past . when thus he was deposed quite , of that which was his lawfull right : in prison ws he kept full close , without all p●ttie or remorce . and those that shewd him fauour still , were taken from him with ill will : which when

with a spit all burning hot , the same quite through y e horne he strongly pusht . among his intrels in most cruell wise , forcing hereby most lamentable cries . and while within his body they did keepe , the burning spit still rolling vp and downe : most mournefully the murthered man did weepe , whose wailefull noise wakt many in the towne , who gessing by his cries his death drew neere ,

we may crie , that euer we forced king edward to die . the bishop of hereford ill may he fare , he wrote vs a letter for subtiltie rare : to kill princely edward , feare not it is good , thus much by

wickednesse . with teares all be dewed for mercie we crie , and doe not the penitent mercie denie . alacke , and alacke , with griefe we may say , that euer we made king edward away . for this haue we last both our goods and our lands , our castles and towers , so stately that stands : our ladies and babies are turnd out of doore , like comfortlesse catiues both naked and po●re . both friendlesse and fatherlesse do they complaine , for gon are their comforts y t should thē maintaine : alacke , and alacke , and alas may we crie , that euer we forced king edward to die . and while they go wringing their hands vp & down . in seeking for succour from towne vnto towne : all wrapped in wretchednesse doe we remaine , tormented , perplexed in dolour and paine . despised , disdained and banished quite , the coasts of our countrie so sweete to our sight . alacke , and alacke , and alas may we crie , that euer we forced king edward to die . then farwel faire england wherin we were

the chief murderers bewray . commandement was sent by one called lea , he should be beheaded forthwith on the sea : alacke , and alacke , and alas did he crie , that euer we forced king edward to die . thus was sir thomas dispatched of life , in comming to visite his sorrowfull wife : who was cut off from his wished desire , which he in his heart so much did require . and neuer his lady againe did he see , nor his poore children in their miserie . alacke , and alacke , and alas did he crie , that euer we forced king edward to die . the lord matreuers the storie doth tell , in germanie after long time he did dwell : in secret manner for feare to be seene , by any persons that fauoured the queene : and there at last in great miserie , he ended his life most penitently . alacke and alacke ,

hob carter with his stragling traine , iacke shepperd comes with him a maine : so doth tom miller in like sort , as if he ment to take some fort : with bowes and bils , with speare and shield , on blacke-heath haue they pitcht their field , an hundred thousand men in all , whose force is not accounted small . and for king richard did they send , much euill to him they did intend : for the taxe the which our king , vpon his commons then did bring : and now because his royall grace , denied to come within their chace , they spoyled southwarke round about , and tooke the marshals prisoners out : all those that in the kings bench lay , at libertie they set that day , and then they marcht with one consent , through london with a lewd intent : and for to fit their lewd desire , they set the sauoy all on fire , for the hate which they did beare , vnto the duke of lancastere . therefore his house they burned quite , through enuie malice and dispighte . then to the temple did they turne , the lawyers bookes there did they burne : and spoyld their lodgings one by one , and all they could lay hand vpon . then vnto smithfield did they hie , to saint iohns place that stands thereby . and set the same on fire flat , which burned seuen dayes after that . vnto the tower of london then , fast troped these rebellious men , and hauing entered soone the same , with hidious cries and mickle shame : the graue lord chauncelor thence they tooke , amas'd with fearefull pittious looke : the lord high treasurer likewise they , tooke from that place that present day : and with their hooting lewd and shrill , strucke off their heads on tower hill . into the cittie came they then , like rude disordered franticke men : they robd the churches euerie where , and put the priests in deadly feare . into the counters then they get , where men imprisoned lay for debt : they broke the doores and let them out , and threw the counter bookes about , tearing and spoyling them each one , and recordes all they light vpon . the doores of newgate broke they downe , that prisoners ran about the towne : forcing all the smithes they meete , to knocke the yrons from their feete : and then like villaines voide of awe , followed wat tylor and iacke straw . and though this outrage was not small , the king gaue pardon to them all , so they would part home quietly , but they his pardon did defie : and being all in smithfield then , euen threescore thousand fighting men , which there wat tylor then did bring , of purpose for to meete our king . and there withall his royall grace , sent sir iohn newton to that place : vnto wat tylor willing him , to come and speake with our young king . but the proud rebell in dispight , did picke a quarrell with the knight . the mayor of london being by , when he beheld this villanie : vnto wat tylor rode he then , being in midst of all his men : saying traytor yeelde t is best . in the kings name i thee arrest : and therewith to his dagger start , and thrust the rebbell to the heart . who falling dead vnto the ground , the same did all the hoast confound : and downe they threwe their weapons all and humbly they for pardon call . thus did that proud rebellion cease , and after followed a ioyfull peace . finis . a speeche betweene ladies , being shepheards on salisburie plaine . truely said the ladies , this was a most hardie & couragious mayor . that durst in the midst of so mightie a multitude of his enemies arrest so impudent and bold a traytor , and kill him in the face of all his friendes , which was a deed worthie to be had in euerlasting memory and highly to be rewarded : nor did his majestie forget , said the lady oxenbridge , to dignifie that braue man for his hardie deed , for in remembrance of that admired exploit , his maiestie made him knighte , and fyue aldermen more of the cittie , ordayning also , that in rememberance of sir vvil. vvalworthes deede , against vvatte tyler , that all the mayors that were to succeede in his place should be knighted : and further he granted , that there shoulde be a dagger added to the armes of the citie of london , in the right quarter of the shielde for an augmentation of the armes . you haue tolde vs ( quoth the ladies ) the end of vvat tylor , but i pray you what became of iacke strawe , & the rest of the rebellious rout . i will shew you ( quoth she ) iacke straw with the rest of that rude rabble , being in the ende apprehended ( as rebels neuer florish long ) was at last broght to be executed at london , where he confest that there intent was , if they could haue brought their vile purpose to passe , to haue murdered the king and his nobles , and to haue destroyed so neere as they coulde : all the gentilitie of the land , hauing especially vowed the death of all the bishops , abbots & monks , and then to haue inriched themselues , they determined to set london on fire , and to haue taken the spoyle of that honourable cittie , but the gallowes standing betwixt them & home , they were there trust vppe before they could effect any thing . and such ends said the ladies send all rebels , and especially the desperate traytors , which at this present vexeth the whole state . with that word , one of their seruants came running , saying : madam , the rebels are now marched out of vviltshire & hampshire , making hastie steppes towards london , therefore now you need not feare to come home , and commit the flockes to there former keepers . the ladies beeing ioyfull thereof , appointed shortly after a banquet to bee prepared , where they all met together againe , by which time the kings power hauing incountered the rebels on blacke-heath , ouerthrew their whole power where the lorde awdly was taken and committed to newgate , from whence hee was drawne to the tower-hill in a cote of his owne armes painted vpon paper , reuersed and all to torne , and ther was beheaded the . of iune . and shortly after thomas flamocke , and michaell ioseph the blacke smith were drawne , hanged & quartered after the manner of traytors , but when the husbands to these faire ladies , came home & heard how their wiues had dealt to saue themselues in this daungerous time , they coulde not chuse but heartily laugh at the matter , saying , that such shepheards neuer kept sheepe on salisburie plaine before .

ascii text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable xml (tcp schema; characters represented either as utf- unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless xml (tei p , characters represented either as utf- unicode or tei g elements). keying and markup guidelines are available at the text creation partnership web site . eng ballads, english -- th century. - tcp assigned for keying and markup - spi global keyed and coded from proquest page images - john pas sampled and proofread - john pas text and markup reviewed and edited - pfs batch review (qc) and xml conversion a friends aduice : in an excellent ditty , concerning the variable changes in this world. to a pleasant new tune ▪ vvhat if a day or a month , or a yeare , crown thy desires with a thousād wisht cōtentings cannot the chance of a night or an houre , crosse thy delights with as many sad tormentings ;

nay i haue more newes then this of others as bad as he : and séeing wée both goe one way , wée'l giue to our hast some scope , though you from the labour doe stay shée l doe well enough i hope : know you not laurence the miller . o he is as good as ere twangd , his wife sayes he threatens to kill her , o such a rogue would be hangd . o fye on these dastardly knaues , for those that will beate their wiues they dare not with swords or staues méet men in the field for their liues : but if that my husband should not vse mée so well as he ought , my hands i should hardly hold for i de giue him as good as he brought : but know you not kett the baker o he is as good as ere twangd , hée threatens his wife to forsake her . o such a rogue would be hangd . why what is his reason for that ? in troth neighbour i doe not know , but when hée s drunke as a rat , then shée l act the part of a shrow : tush , that 's such a catching disease few women their silence can kéepe , let euery one say what they please but a shrew 's better then a shéepe : but know you not ralph the plummer , i hée is as good as ere twangd : he walkes with a wench euery summer o such a rogue would be hangd . what does his poore wife the meane while ? at home she doth sadly remaine , and at his returne she will smile , and louingly him entertaine : in troth then he serues her but right , but if that it were my case , the wench that hée kept but one night , should goe with no nose on her face : but know you not sam the turner , o hée is as good as ere twangd , he throws his wife i' th fire to burn her o such a rogue would be hangd . the second part , to the same tune . i pray you how happened that , what should be the cause of this strife ? a man brought a new beauer hat , vnto his next neighbours wife , and she spoke vnto her good man , to buy such another for her , which made him to curse and to ban , and thus began all the stir . but know you not franke the glouer , o he is as good as ere twangd , his wife sayes he doth not loue her , o such a rogue would be hangd . but what doe you thinke's the occasion that separates them in affection ? hée s led by a queanes perswasion to bring his poore wife in subiection , should my good man vse me thus i 'de feritt both him and his minion , to loue them that loue not us is folly in my opinion : but know you not ned the painter ? o he is as good as ere twangd , hée s turnd a great tauern haunter o such a rogue would be hangd . this séemes a great wonder to mée , and a thing which i hardly can think for lately so strict was he , that you hardly could get him to drink tush , that 's a thing commonly séene , there 's many that séeme so ciuill : in a place conuenient haue béene as bad as who 's most euill : but know you not stephen the weauer o he is as good as ere twangd , has deceiu'd my maide , now héel leaue her o such a rogue would be hangd . why neighbour i hope you but iest , has he your maid nan beguild ? t is true neighbour nell i protest , and i doubt now she will run wild : t is pitty that maids are so kind to trust them that are so fickle , for now you may well vnderstand she is left in a very bad pickle : but know you not george the felmonger o he is as good as ere twangd , he let his first wife dye for hunger , o such a rogue would be hangd . in sadnesse neighbour sisse you haue made me my time oreslip , if margery should doe amisse 't would make mée to bite my lip : and therefore in hast farewell . o margery now i come , adiew swéet neighbour nell , hush , say no more but mum . for staying from madge t is true , i confesse i deserue to be bangd : and this is all long of hugh , o such a rogue would be hangd . m. p. finis . printed at london for thomas lambert . the northern ditty: or, the scotch-man out-witted by the country damsel. to an excellent new scotch tune, of cold and raw the north did blow, &c. a song much in request at court. this may be printed, r.p. d'urfey, thomas, - . approx. kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from -bit group-iv tiff page image. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ; oxford (uk) : - (eebo-tcp phase ). b wing d interim tract supplement guide c. .f.

and if that you would me embrace , first marry , and then you may sir. i told her i had wedded been , fourteen years and longer , else i 'd chuse her for my queen , and tye the knot yet stronger . she bid me then no farther come , but manage my wedlock fairly , and keep my purse for poor spouse at home , for some other should have her barley . then as swift as any roe , she rode away and left me ;

the tcp texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. text selection was based on the new cambridge bibliography of english literature (ncbel). if an author (or for an

the keyers to be redone. after proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of instances per text. any

loves honesty , conscience hates knavery . plain-dealing . i am plain-dealing which all men ought to use , but many now a days doth me abuse : dissemulation is esteemed best , poor plain-dealing is grown out of request . in city , town , and likewise in country , they say plain-dealing will a beggar dye : gallants they at me do both mock and flout , because that i go in a thread-bare coat . the reason that so many doth me slight , is because i am honest and down-right : i use no deceit , fraud , nor flattery , but does to all men as i 'de be done by . i am not covetaus nor worldly wise , i crave no more then what will me suffice : i hate vain pride which now too much doth reign , therefore plain-dealing they 'l not entertain . in days of old i was a welcome guest , and had good entertainment with the best : i was esteemed amongst rich and poor , but now plain-dealing is turn'd out of door . for now dissemulation hath got the day , and in this nation bears a mighty sway : plain-dealing is held in scorn and disgrace , alack , when shall i find a resting-place . conscience . my name is conscience , poor plain-dealing's mate although like him , i 'm old and out of date : many with their whole hearts doth me defie , ' cause conscience can't agree with knavery . but if i within their bosoms once do creep , with their base a●ions i prick their hearts deep : i mind them of their covetousness and pride , therefore poor conscience they cannot abide . the lawyer and vsurer hath forgot me , they gripe poor men vnconscionably : i hey study only how to keep up gold , conscience and plain-dealing they quite have sold . and many others in these times there are , that of their conscience do not take no care : they pawn their conscience for lucre of gain , which conscience will to them at last make plain . so many are inclin'd to cruelty , and doth conscience and plain-dealing defie : tell them of conscience they 'l count you their foe , quoth they conscience was hangd long time ago . but i wish such men they folly would refuse , lest conscience at the last should them accuse : in a good conscience a man may put trust , then see you keep your conscience right and just . time it doth pass away full fast , yet many doth spend time in waste : vvhen time is gone then cometh death , and puts a stop to mortal breath . time doth stay for none . ☞ death cuts

whole time most wickedly , in drunkenness , whoredom , and blasphemy : and some again sets their delight in pride , not thinking how their precious time doth slide . time is a stately jewel of great gain , if it be well priz'd and not spent in vain : those that their time bestows in doing well , in happiness no doubt but they shall dwell . and those that spends their time in idleness , shall one day want it in their great distress : the whole world can't lost time restore , yesterday's gone and will ne'r return more . time's last speech to the world. like to an arrow shot out of a bow , like

earth i lay , when their glass is out , with me they must away . thus rich and poor , with old and young also , both wise and simple to the grave must go : there 's no respect of persons , worst or

abuse . content thy selfe , my dearest friend , thy rest at home shall bee : in englands sweete and pleasant soyle , for trauaile fits not thee . faire ladyes brooke not bloudy warres , sweete peace

against my foes do fight , my rose in robes and pearle of gold , with diamonds richly dight , shall daunce the galiards of my loue , while i my foes do smite . and you sir thomas whom i trust , to beare my loues defence , be carefull of my gallant rose , when i am parted hence : the flowers of my affected heart , whose sweetenesse doth excell , my royall rose a hundred times , i bid thee now farewell . and at their parting well they might , in heart be grieued sore , after that day faire rosamond the king did see no more : for when his grace did passe the seas and into france was gone , queene elinor with enuious heart , to woodstocke came anone . and foorth she cald this trustie knight , which kept the curious bower , who with his clew of twined threed , came from that famous flower . and whē that they had wounded him , the queene his threed did get , and went where lady rosamond was like an angell set . but when the queene with stedfast eye , beheld her heauenly face , she was amazed in her minde , at her exceeding grace . cast off from thee thy robes ( she said ) that rich and costly bee , and drink thou vp this deadly draught which i haue brought for thee , but presently vpon her knees , sweete rosamond did fall , and pardon of the queene she crau'd , for her offences all . take pittie on my youthfull yeares , ( faire rosamond did cry ) and let me not with poyson strong , inforced be to dye . i will renounce this sinfull life , and in a cloyster bide : or else be banisht , if you please , to range the world so wide , and for the fault which i haue done , though i was forst thereto : preserue my life and punnish me , as you thinke good to doe . and with these words her lilly hands , shee wrongfull often there : and downe along her louely cheekes , proceeded many a teare . but nothing could this furious queene , therewith apeased bee . the cup of deadly poyson fild , as she sat on her knee . shee gaue the comely dame to drinke , who tooke it in her hand and from her bended knee arose , and on her feete did stand : and casting vp her eyes to heauen , she did for mercie call , and drinking vp the poyson then , her life she lost withall . and when that death through euery lim , had done his greatest spight . her chiefest foes did plaine confesse , she was a glorious wight , her body then they did intombe , when life was fled away , at

punisht such as dayly sought , his statutes to withstand : and many citties he subdude : faire london with the rest : and kent did still withstand his force , which did his lawes detest . to douer then he tooke his way , the castle downe to fling , which aruiragus builded there , the noble brittaine king : which when the braue arch-bishop bold , of canterburie , knew , the abbot of s. austins

leaders still : and so marcht foorth in warlike sorte , and stood at swanscombe hill . where in the woodes they hid themselues , vnder the shady greene : thereby to get them vantage good , of all their foes vnseene . and for the conquerors comming there , they priuily layde waite and thereby sodainely appald his loftie high conceite : for when they spyed his approach , in place as they did stand , then marched they to hemme him in , each one a bough in hand , so that vnto the conquerours sight , amazed as he stood . they seem'd to be a walking groue , or else a moouing wood. the shape of men he could not see , the boughes did hide them so : and now his heart with feare did quake , to see a forest goe . before , behinde , and on each side , as he did cast his eye : he spide these woodes with sober pace , approch to him full nye . but when the kentishmen had thus inclosed the conquerour round , most sodainely they drew their swords , and threw their boughs to grownd . their banners they displaide in spight , their trumpets sound a charge : their ratling drummes strike vp alarume , their troopes stretch out at large the conquerour with all his traine , were hereat sore a gast : and most in perill , when he thought all perill had beene past . vnto the kentishmen he sent , the cause to vnderstand . for what intent , and for what cause , they tooke this warre in hand ? to whom they made this short reply , for libertie we fight : and to enioy k. edwards lawes , the which we hold our right . then sayd the dreadfull conquerour , you shall haue what you will : your auncient customes and your lawes , so that you will be still : and each thing else that you will craue , with reason at my hand : so you will but acknowledge mee , chiefe king of faire england . the kentishmen agreed hereon , and layd their armes aside : and by this meanes , king edwards lawes , in kent , doth still abide : and in no place in england else , those customes doe remaine , which they by manly pollicie , did of duke william gaine . finis . how king henrie the first , had his children drowned in the sea , as they came out of france . cant. . to the tune of the ladyes daughter . after our royall king , had foyld his foes in france , and spent the pleasant spring , his honour to aduance : into faire england he return'd , with fame and victorie : what time the subiectes of this land , receiu'd him ioyfully . but at his home returne , his children left he still in france , for to soiorne , to purchase learned skill . duke william his brother deare , lord richard was his name , which was the earle of chester then , who thirsted after fame . the kings faire daughter eke , the lady mary bright . with diuers noble peeres : and many a hardy knight . all those were left togeather there , in pleasure and delight , when that our king to england came , after the bloudy fight . but when faire flora had , drawne foorth her treasure dry , that winter cold and sad , with hoarie head drew ny : those princes all with one consent , prepared all things meete , to passe the seas for faire england , whose sight to them was sweete . to england let vs hie , thus euery one did say , for christmas draweth me , no longer let vs stay : but spend the merry christmas time , within our fathers court : where lady pleasure doth attend , with many a princely sport . to sea those princes went , fullfilled with mirth and ioy : but this their merriment , did turne to deare annoy : the saylers and the shipmen all , through foule excesse of wine , were so disguis'de that at the sea , they shewd themselues like swine . the sterne no man could guide , the maister sleepeng lay : the saylers all beside , went reeling euery way : so that the ship at randome rode , vpon the foaming flood : whereby in perill of their liues , the princes alwaies stood . which made distilling teares from their faire eyes to fall : their hearts were fild with teares , no helpe they had at all : they wish themselues vpon the land a thousand times , and more : and at the last they came in sight of englands pleasant shore . then euery one began , to turne their sighes to smiles : their colours pale and wan , a chearefull looke exiles : the princly lordes most louingly , their ladyes did imbrace : for now in england shall we be , ( quoth they ) in little space . take comfort now , they sayd , behold the land at last ; then be no more dismayde , the worst is gone and past . but while they did this ioyfull hope , with comfort entertaine , the goodly ship vpon a rocke , on sunder burst in twaine . with that a greeuous shreeke among them there was made , and euery one did seeke on something to be stayde : but all in vaine such helpe they sought , the ship so soone did sinke , that in the sea they were constrain'd , to take their latest drinke . there might you see the lords , and ladyes , for to lie , amidst rhe salt sea foame , with many a grieuous crie : still labouring for their liues defence , with stretched armes abroade and lifting vp their little hands for helpe with one accord . but as good fortune would , the svveet young duke did get . into the cocke-boate then , where safely he did sit : but when he heard his sister cry , the kinges faire daughter deere , he turnd his boat to take her in , whose death did draw so neere , but while he stroue to take , his sweete young sister in , the rest such shift did make , in sea as they did swimme , that to the boat a number got , so many , as at last , the boat and all that were therein , were drowned and ouercast . of lordes and gentlemen , the ladyes faire offace : not one escaped then ? which was a heauie case . three-score and ten , were drownd in all and none escaped death , but one poore butcher , which had swome himselfe quite out of breath . this was most heauie newes , vnto our comely king ; who did all mirth refuse , this word when they did bring : for by this meanes no child he had , his kingdome to succeed ▪ whereby his sisters sonne was king , as you shall plainely read . the dutchesse of suffolkes calamitie . cant. . to the tune of queene dido . when god had taken ( for our sinne ) that prudent prince king edward away then bloudy bonner did begin his raging malice to be wray : all those that did the gospell professe , he persecuted more or lesse . thus when the lord on vs did lower , many in prison did he throw , tormenting them in lolards tower , whereby they might the trueth forgoe . then granmer , ridley , and the rest , were burnt in fire , that christ profest . smithfield was then with fagots fild , and many places more beside . at couentrie was sanders kild , at glocester eke good hooper dide : and to escape this bloudy day , beyond-seas many fled away . among the rest that sought reliefe , and for their fayth in danger stood , lady elizabeth was chiefe , king henries daughter of royall bloud which the tower prisoner did lie , looking each day when she should die . the dutches of suffolke seeing this , ( whose life likewise the tyrant sought , who in the hope of heauenly blisse , which in gods word her comfort wrought , for feare of death , was faine to flie , and leaue her house most secretly . that for the loue of christ alone , her landes and goods she left behind : seeking still for precious stone , the word of trueth , so rare to finde : she with her nurse , her husband , and child , in poore aray their sightes beguild . thus through london they past along , each one did passe a seuerall streete . thus all vnknowne , escaped wrong , at billings gate they all did meete : like pleople poore in graue send barge , they simply went with all their charge . and all along from grauesend towne , with easie iournies on foote they went , vnto the sea-coast they came downe , to passe the seas was their intent : and god prouided so that day , that they tooke ship and sayld away . and with a prosperous gale of winde , in flaunders safe they did ariue : this was to their great ease of minde , which from their heartes much woe did driue : and so ( with thankes to god on hie ) they tooke their way to germanie . thus as they traueild thus disguisde , vpon the high way sodainely , by cruell theeues they were surprisde , assaulting their poore company : and all their treasure and their store , they tooke away , and beate them sore . the nursse in middest of their fight , laid downe the childe vpon the ground , and ran away out of their sight , and neuer after that was found . then did the dutches make great mone with her good husband all alone . the theeues had there their horses kild , and all their mony quite had tooke : the prettie babie almost spild , was by their nurse likewise forsooke : and they far from their friends did stand , all succourlesse in a straunge land. the skies likewise began to schoule , it hayld and raind in pitteous sort ? the way was long , and wondrous foule then may i now full well report . their griefe and sorrow was not small , when this vnhappy chance did fall . sometime the dutchesse bore the child , as wet as euer she could be : and when the lady kind and mild was wearie , then the child bore he : and thus they one another eas'd , and with their fortunes were well pleas'd . and after many weary steppes , all wet-shod both in durt and myre , after much griefe , their harts yet leapes , for labour doth some rest require : a towne before them they did see . but lodg'd therein they could not bee . from house to house they both did goe , seeking where they that night might lie . but want of mony was their woe , and still the babe with cold did cry , with cap and knee they courtsie make , but none on them would pittie take , loe heere a princesse of great bloud did pray a peasant for reliefe , with teares bedeawed as she stood , yet few or none regards her griefe her speach they could not vnderstand , but gaue her a penny in her hand , when all in vaine the paines was spent , and that they could not house-rome get , into a church-porch then they went , to stand out of the raine and wet . then said the dutchesse to her deere , oh that we had some fire heere . then did her husband so prouide , that fire and coales he got with speed : she sat downe by the fiers side , to dresse her daughter that had need : and while she drest it in her lap , her husband made the infant pap. a non the sexton thither came , and finding them there by the fire , the drunken knaue all voyd of shame , to driue them out was his desire : and spurning foorth this noble dame , her husbands wrath it did inflame . and all in furie as he stood , he wrong the keyes out of his hand , and stroke him so , that all of bloud his head ran downe where he did stand : therefore the sexton presently , for helpe and ayde aloude did cry . then came the officers in haste , and tooke the dutchesse and her childe , and with her husband thus they past , like lambes beset with tygers wilde : and to the gouernour were they brought , who vnderstood them not in ought . then maister bartue braue and bold , in latine made a gallant speech , which all their miserie did vnfold , and their high fauour did beseech : with that a doctor sitting by , did know the dutchesse presently . and thereupon arising straight , with minde abashed at this sight , vnto them all that there did waight , he thus brake foorth in wordes aright behold within your sight ( quoth hee ) a princesse of most high degree . with that , the gouernour and the rest , were all amaz'd the same to heare : and welcommed their new-come gueste , with reuerence great , and princely cheare : and afterward conueyd they were vnto their friend , prince cassemeer . a sonne she had in germanie , peregrine bartue cal'd by name : surnam'd the good lord willughbie , of courage great and worthie fame : her daughter young , which with her went , was afterward countesse of kent . for when queene mary was deceast , the dutchesse home return'd againe : who was of sorrow quite releast by queene elizabeths happy raigne for whose life and prosperitie : we may prayse god continually . finis . how king henrie the second crowning his sonne king of england in his owne life time , and was by him most grieuously vexed with warres . cant . to the tune of wigmores galliard . you parents whose affection fond , vnto your children doth appeare : marke well the storie now in hand , wherein you shall great matters heare , and learne by this which shall be told , to hold your children still in awe , least otherwise they prooue too bold , and set not by your state a strawe . king henrie , second of that name , for very loue that he did beare vnto his sonne , whose courteous fame did through the land his credite reare : did call the prince vpon a day , vnto the court in royall sort : attyred in most rich array , and there he made him princely sport , and afterward he tooke in hand , for feare he should deceiued be , to crowne him king of faire england , while life possest his maiestie . what time , the king in humble sort , like to a subiect waighted then vpon his sonne , and by report swore vnto him , his noble-men . and by this meanes in england now two kinges at once together liue : but lordly rule will not allow in partnership their dayes to driue . the sonne therefore ambitiously . doth seeke to pull his father downe , by bloudy warre and subtiltie , to take from him his princely crowne . sith i am king ( thus did he say ) why should i not both rule and raigne . my heart disdaines for to obey , yea all or nothing , will i gaine . hereon he rayseth armies great , and drawes a number to his part : his fathers force downe right to beate , and with his speare to pierce his heart in seauen set battles did he fight against his louing father deare : to ouerthrow him in despight to win himselfe a kingdome cleare : but nought at all could he preuaile , his armies alwayes had the worst : such griefe did then his heart assaile , he thought himselfe of god accurst . and therefore falling wondrous sicke , he humbly to his father sent : the worme of conscience did him pricke , and his vile deedes he did lament : requiring that his noble grace , would now forgiue all that was past : and come to him , in heauie case , being at poynt to breath his last : when this word came vnto our king , the newes did make him wondrous woe and vnto him he sent his ring , where he in parson would not goe . commend me to my sonne , he sayd , so sicke in bed as he doth lie : and tell him , i am well appaide , to heare he doth for mercie crie . the lord forgiue his foule offence , and i forgiue them all , quoth he , his euill , with good , i le recompence , beare him this message now from me when that the prince did see the ring he kissed it in ioyfull wise , and for his faultes his hands did wring while bitter teares gusht from his eyes and to his lords that stood him nie , with feeble voyce then did he call , desiring them immediatly to strip him from his garments all : take off from me these robes so rich , and lap me in a cloth of haire : quoth he , my grieuous sinnes are such , hell fiers flame . i greatly feare . a hempton halter then he tooke , about his necke he put the same : and with a grieuous pittious looke , this speech vnto them he did frame , you reuerend bishops more and lesse , pray for my soule to god on hie : for like a thiefe ( i doe confesse ) i haue deserued for to die . and therefore by this halter heere , i yeeld my selfe vnto you all : a wretch vnworthy to appeare before my god celestiall : wherefore within your hempton bed , all strew'd with ashes as it is , let me be lay'd when i am dead , and draw me there vnto by this . yea by this halter strong and tough , dragge foorth my carkas to the same : yet is that couche not bad enough for my vile body wrapt in shame : and when you see me lye along , be powdered in ashes there , say there is he that did such wrong vnto his father euery where . and with that word , he breath'd his last wherefore according to his minde , they drew him by the necke full fast , vnto the place by him assign'd : and afterward in solemne sort , at roan in fraunce buried was he , where many princes did resort , to his most royall obsequie . finis . the imprisonment of queene elinor , wife to king henrie the second , by whose meanes the king sonnes so vnnaturally rebelled against their father , & of her lamentation , being xvi . yeares in prison , whom her sonne richard when he came to be king , released : and how at her deliuerance , she caused many prisoners to be set at libertie . cant. . to the tune of come liue with me , &c. thrice woe is me vnhappy queene , thus to offend my princely lord : my foule offence to plaine is seene , and of good people most abhord : i doe confesse my fault it was , these bloudy warres came thus to passe . my iealous minde hath wrought my woe , let all good ladyes shun mistrust : my enuie wrought my ouerthrow , and by my mallice most vniust , my sonnes did seeke their fathers life , by bloudy warres and cruell strife . what more vnkindnesse could be showne , to any prince of high renowne , then by his queene and loue alone , to stand in danger of his crowne : for this offence most worthily , in dolefull prison doe i lie . but that which most tormentes my mind , and makes my grieuous heart complaine is for to thinke that most vnkind , i brought my selfe in such disdaine , that now the king cannot abide i should be lodged by his side . in dolefull prison i am cast , debard of princely companie : the kings good will quite haue i lost , and purchast nought but imfamie : and neuer must i see him more , whose absence grieues my heart full sore . full fifteene winters haue i beene , imprisoned in the dungion deepe , whereby my ioyes are wasted cleane , where my poore eyes haue learn'd to weepe , and neuer since i could attaine , his kingly loue to me againe . too much in deed ( i must confesse ) i did abuse his royall grace , and by my great malitiousnesse , his wrong i wrought in euey place : and thus his loue i turn'd to hate , which i repent , but all too late . sweete rosamond that was so faire , out of her curious bower i brought , a poysoned cup i gaue her there , whereby her death was quickly wrought , the which i did with all despight , because she was the kings delight , thus often did the queene lament and she in prison long did lie , her former deedes she did repent , with many a watery weeping eye : but at the last this newes was spread , the king was on a sodaine dead . but when she heard this tydinges told , most bitterly she mourned then : her wofull heart she did vnfold , in sight of many noble men . and her sonne richard being king , from dolefull prison did her bring . who set her for to rule the land , while to ierusalem he went : and while she had this charge in hand , her care was great in gouernment : and many a prisoner then in hold , she set at large from yrons cold . the lamentable death of king iohn , how he was poysoned in the abby of swinested , by a frier . cant. . to the tune of fortune . a trecherous deed foorth-with i shall you tell , which on king iohn on a sodaine fell : to lincoln-shire proceeding on his way , at swinsted abbey one whole night he lay . there did the king appose his wellcome good , but much deceipt lies vnder an abbots hood . there did the king himselfe in safety thinke , but there the king receiued his latest drinke . great cheare they made vnto his royall grace , while he remaind a guest within that place : but while they smilde and laughed in his sight , they wrought great treason shadowed with delight a flat fact monke comes with a glosing tale , to giue the king a cup of spiced ale a deadlier drought was neuer offered man : yet this false monke vnto the king began . which when the king ( without mistrust ) did see , he tooke the cup of him most couragiously : but while he held the poysoned cupe in hand , our noble king amazed much did stand . for casting downe by chance his princely eyes , on pretious iewels which he had full nye : he saw the culloure of each pretious stone , most strangely turne , and alter one by one . their orient brightnesse , to a pale dead hue , were changed quite , the cause no person knew : and such a sweate did ouer spread them all , and stood like dew which on faire flowers fall . and hereby was their pretious natures tride , for pretious-stones foule poyson cannot bide , but through our king beheld their colour pale , mistrusted not the poyson in the ale. for why , the monke the taste before him tooke , ( nor knew the king how ill he did it brooke ) and therefore he a harty draught did take , which of his life a quicke dispatch did make . th' infectious drinke fumde vp into his head , and throught the veines in the heart it spread : distempering the pure vnspotted braine , that doth in man his memorie maintaine . then felt the king an extreame griefe to grow , through all his intrails , being infected so : whereby he knew through anguish which he felt the monke with him most traiterously had delt . the grones he gaue did make all men to wonder ' he cast as if his heart would burst in sunder : and still he cald , while he thereon did thinke , for the false monk which brought y e deadly drinke . and then his lords went searching round about . in euery place to find the traytor out : at length they found him dead as any stone , within a corner lying all alone . for hauing tasted of that poysoned cup , whereof our king the residue drunke vp : the enuious monke himselfe to death did bring , that he thereby might kill our royall king , but when the king with ( wonder ) heard them tell , the monkes body did with poyson swell : why then my lords , full quickly now ( quoth he ) a breatlesse king you shall among you see . behold he said , my vaines in peeces cracke : a grieuous torment feele i in my backe : and by this poyson deadly and accurst , i feele my heart stringes ready for to burst . with that his eyes did turne within his head : a pale dead coulour through his face did spread : and lying gasping with a colde faint breath , the royall king was ouercome by death . his mournfull lords wich stood about him then , with all their force and troups of warlike men , to worcester the corpes they did conuey : with drum and trumpet marching all the way . and in the faire cathedrall chuch i finde , they buried him according to their minde : most pompeously best fitting for a king , who were applauded greatly for this thing . the cruell imprisonment of king edward the second , at the castle of barkeley the . of september . . cant. . to the tune of , labandela shot . when isabell faire englands queene in wofull warres had victorious beene : our comely king , her husband deare , subdued by strength as did appeare , by her was sent to prison strong , for hauing done his crountry wrong , in barkeley castle cast was he , denyed of royall dignitie : where he was kept in wofull wise , his queene did him so much despise . there did he liue in vvofull state , such is a womans deadly hate ; vvhen fickle fancie follovves change , and lustfull thoughts delight to range , lord mortimer was so in minde , the kinges sweete loue was left behinde : and none vvas knovvne a greater foe , vnto king edvvard in his woe , then isabell his crowned queene , as by the sequell shall be seene . while he in prison poorely lay , a parliament was held straight way : what time his foes apeace did bring billes of complaint against the king , so that the nobles of the land , vvhen they the matter throughtly scand , pronounced them these speeches plaine , he was vnworthy for to raigne , therefore they made a flat decree he should foorthwith desposed be . and his sonne edward young of yeares was iudged by the noble peeres most meete to weare the princely crowne , his father being thus puld downe . which words when as the queene did heare , ( dissemblingly , as did appeare ) she wept , she waild , and wrong her hands , before the lords whereas she stands , which when the prince her sonne did see , he spake these words most curteously . my sweete queene mother weepe not so , thinke not your sonne will seeke your woe : though english lords choose me their king , my owne deare father yet liuing : thinke not thereto i will consent , except my father be content , and with good will his crowne resigne and graunt it freely to be mine : wherefore queene mother thinke no ill in mee , or them , for their good will. then diuers lordes without delay , went to the king whereas he lay , declaring how the matter stood , and how the peeres did thinke it good to choose his sonne , their king to be , if that he would thereto agree : for to resigne the princely crowne , and all the title of renowne : if otherwise , they told him plaine , a stranger should the same attaine . this dolefull tidinges ( most vnkind ) did sore afflict king edvvards minde , but vvhen he savv no remedie , he did vnto their vvilles agree : and bitterly he did lament , saying the lord this plague hath sent , for his offence and vanitie , which he would suffer patiently : beseeching all the lords , at last . for to forgiue him all was past , when thus he was depriued quite , of that which was his lawfull right in prison was he kept full close , without all pittie or remorce : and those that shewd him fauour still , were taken from him with ill will which when the earle of kent did heare , who was in bloud to him full neere , he did intreat most earnestly for his release and libertie . his wordes did much the queene displease , who sayd he liu'd too much at ease , vnto the bishop she did goe , of hereford , his deadly foe , and cruell letters made him write vnto his keepers with despight , you are to kind to him quoth she . hence foorth more straighter looke you be : and in their wrighting subtilly , they sent them word that he should die . the lord matreuers all dismayd , vnto sir thomas gurney said , the queene is much displeas'd quoth hee , for edwards too much liberty : and by her letters doth bewray , that soone hest all be made away . t is best ( sir thomas then replide ) the queenes wish should not be denide : whereby we shall haue her good will , and keepe our selues in credite still . how the king was poysoned , and yet hee escaped : and afterward how when they saw thereby he was not dispatched of life they locked him in a most noysome filthy place , that with the stincke thereof he might be choaked : and when that preuailed not , how they thrust a hotte burning spitte into his fundament till they had burnt his bowels within his body , whereof he dyed . cant. . to the tune of , how can the tree . the kings curst keepers ayming at reward , hoping for fauour of the furiours queene , on wretched edward had they no regard . far from their hearts was mercy mooued cleene , wherefore they mingle poyson with his meate , which made the man most fearefull for to eate . for by the state he often times suspected , the venome couched in a daintie dish : yet his faire body was full sore infected , so ill they spiced both his flesh and fish , but his strong nature all their craft beguiles , the poyson breaking forth in blaines and biles . an vgly scabbe ore-spreads his lilly skinne , foule botches breake vpon his manly face , thus sore without , and sorrowfull within , the dispis'd man doth liue in wofull case , like to a lazer did he then abide , that shewes his sores a long the high waies side . but when this practise proou'd not to their minde and that they saw he liu'd in their despight : an other damnd , deuice then did they finde , by stinking sauours for to choake him quite : in an odde corner did they locke him fast , hard by the which , their carrion they did cast . the stinck whereof might be compar'd wel-nie , to that foule lake where cursed sodome stood , that poysoned birdes which ouer it did flie , euen by the sauour of that filthy mudde : euen so the smell of that corrupted den , was able for to choake ten thousand men . but all in vaine , it would not doe ( god wot ) his good complexion still droue out the same : like to the boyling of a seething pot , that castes the scamme into the fiery flame , thus still he liu'd , and liuing still they sought , his death , whose downefall was already wrought . lothing his life , at last his keepers came , into his chamber in the dead of night , and without noyse , they entred soone the same , with weapons drawne , & torches burning bright , where the poore prisoner fast a sleepe in bed , lay on his belly , nothing vnder 's head . the which aduantage , when the murderers saw , a heauie table on him they did throw , wherewith awakt his breath he scant could drawe with vvaight thereof they kept him vnder so , and turning vp the cloathes aboue his hips , to hold his legges a couple quickly skips . then came the murtherers one a horne had got , which far into his fundament downe he thrust , an other with a spit all burning hot , the same quite through the horne he strongly pusht among his intrailes in most cruell wise , forcing heereby most lamentable cryes . and vvhile vvithin his body they did keepe , the burning spit still rovvling vp and dovvne , most mournefull the murthered man did vveepe . vvhose vvailefull noise vvakt many in the tovvne who gessing by his cries , his death drevv neere , tooke great compassion on the noble peere . and at vvhich bitter screeke vvhich did make , they praid to god for to receiue his soule : his ghastly grones inforst their hearts to ake , yet none durst goe cause the bell to towle . ha mee poore man , alacke , alacke he cryed , and long it was before the time he dyed . strong was his heart , and long it was god knowes , ere it would stoope vnto the stroke of death : first was it wounded with a thousand woes , before he did resigne his vitall breath : and beeing murdred thus as you do heare , no outward hurt vpon him did appeare . this cruell murder being brought to passe the lord matreuers to the court did hie : to shew the queene her will performed was . great recompence he thought to get thereby , but when the queene the sequell vnderstands , disembling she weepes and wrings her hands . accursed traytor , hast thou slaine ( quoth she ) my noble wedded lord in such a sort , shame and confusion euer light on thee , oh how i greeue to heere this vile report : hence cursed catiue from my sight ( she said ) that hath of mea wofull widdow made . then all a basht , matreuers goes his way , the saddest man that euer life did beare : and to sir thomas gurney did bewray , what bitter speech the queene did giue him there then did the queene outlaw them both together , and banisht them faire englands bounds for euer . thus the dissembling queene did seeke to hide , the heynous act by her owne meanes effected : the knowledge of the deed she still denide , that she of murder might not be suspected : but yet for all the subtilty she wrought . the trueth vnto the world was after brought . finis . the dolefull lamentation of the lord matreuers , and sir thomas gurney , being banished the realme . cant . to the tune of light of loue . alas that euer that day

songs and sonnets . a new song of king eegar of england , how he was depriued of a lady which he loued by a knight of his court. cant . to be sung in the old ancient sort : or else to the tune of labandalashot . when as king edgar did gouerne this land , a downe , downe , downe , downe downe , and in the strength of his yeares did stand , call him a downe a. much praise was spread of a gallant dame , which did through england carry fame , and she is a lady of high degree , the earle of deuonshires daughter was she . the king which lately had buried the queene , and that long time had a widdower beene , hearing the praise of that gallant maide , vpon her beauty his loue he laid , and in his sighes he would often say , i will go send for that lady gay , yea i will send for that lady bright , which is my treasure and hearts delight . whose beauty like phoebus beames doth glister through all christian realmes then to himselfe he would reply , and say how fond a prince am i , to cast my loue so base and low : and on a girle i do not know : king edgar will his fancy frame , to loue some princely pearelesse dame . the daughter of some royall king. that may a worthy dowry bring : whose matchlesse beauty brought in place ▪ may estrelds colour quite disgrace . but sencelesse man what doe i meane , vnto a broken reede to leane , and what fond fury doth me mooue , thus to abase my dearest loue . whose visage grac'd with heauenly hue , doth helens honour quite subdue : the glory of her beauties pride , sweete estrelds fauour doth deride , then pardon my vnseemely speech , deere loue and lady i beseech . and i my thoughts henceforth will frame ▪ to spread the honour of thy name . then vnto him he called a knight , which was most trusty in his sight : and vnto him thus did he say , to earle orgarus goe thy way : and aske for estrild comely dame whose beauty runnes so farre by fame : and if thou finde her comely grace , as fame hath spread in euery place . then tell her father she shall be , my crowned queene if she agree : the knight in message did proceede , and into deuonshire went with speede , but when he saw the lady bright , he was so rauished at her sight : that nothing could his passions mooue , except he might obtaine her loue . and day and night while he there staid , he courted still that gallant maide , and in his suite did shew his skill , that at the length wonne her good will , forgetting quite the duty tho , which he vnto the king did owe : then comming home vnto his grace , he told him with dissembling face , that these reporters were too blame , that so aduanst the maidens name : for i assure your grace quoth he , she is as other women be , her beauty of such great report , no better then the common sort . and farre vnmeete in euerything , to match with such a noble king. but though her face be nothing faire , yet sith she is her fathers heyre , perhaps some lord of high degree , would very glad her husband be : and if your grace would giue consent : i could my selfe be well content , the damsell for my wife to take , for her great land and liuings sake , the king whom thus he did deceaue , incontinent did giue him leaue : for in that point he did not stand , for why he had no need of land . then being glad he went his way , and wedded straight that lady gay : the fayrest creature bearing life , had this same knight vnto his wife . and by that match of high degree , an earle soone after that was hee : ere they long time had married beene : others that had her beauty seene : her praise was spread both farre and neere the king thereof againe did heare : who then in heart did plainely prooue , he was betrayed of his loue . though therewith he was vexed sore , yet seemd he not to grieue therefore : but kept his countenance good and kinde , as though he bare no grudge in minde . but on a day it came to passe , when as the king full merrie was : to ethelwood in sport he said , i muse what cheere there should be made if to thy house i should resort a night or two for princely sport : hereat the earle shewed countenance glad though in his heart he was full sad , and said your grace should welcome be , if so your grace would honor me . when as the day appointed was , before the king did thither passe . the earle beforehand did prepare ▪ the kings comming to declare : and with a countenance passing grim , he cald his lady vnto him . saying with sad and heauy cheere , i pray you when the king comes heere , sweete lady if you tender mee , let your attire but homely bee . and wash not thou thy angels face , but doe they beauty quite disgrace , and to my gesture so apply , that may seeme loathsome in his eye , for if the king should heere behold , thy glorious beauty so extold : then should my life soone shortned be , for my desert and trechery . when to thy father first i came , though i did not declare the same , yet was put in trust to bring thee ioyfull tidings from the king. who for thy glorious beautie seene , did thinke of thee to make his queene , but when i had thy beautie found , thy beauty gaue me such a wound . no rest or comfort could i take , till your sweete loue my griefe did slake : and thus though duty charged me , most faithfull to our lord to be , yet loue vpon the other side , bad for my self i should prouide : then to my suit and seruice showne , at length i won thee for my owne . and for your loue in wedlock spent , your choyce i need no whit repent , and since my griefe i haue exprest , sweete lady grant me my request : good words she gaue with smiling cheare , musing at that , that she did heare : and casting many things in minde . great fault therewith she seem'd to finde . and in her selfe she thought it shame , to make that foule which god did frame : most costly robes full rich therefore , in brauest sort that day she wore . and did all thinges that ere she might , to set her beautie forth to sight and her best skill in euery thing , she shewed to entertaine the king. whereby the king so snared was , that reason quite from him did passe : his heart by her was set on fire , he had to her a great desire , and for the lookes he gaue her then , for euery one she sent him ten . whereby the king perceaued plaine , his loue and lookes were not in vaine . vpon a time it chanced so , the king he would a hunting goe , and into horse-wood he did ride , the earle of horse-wood by his side . and there the storie telleth plaine , that with a shaft the earle was slaine . and when that he had lost his life . the king soone after tooke his wife . and married her all shame to shunne , by whom he did beget a sonne : thus he which did the king deceaue , did by desert his death receaue . then to conclude and make an end , be true and faithfull

the force of warlike men , besiedged therein a gallant faire lady , while that her husband was in france , his countries honour to aduance , the noble and famous earle of salisburie . braue sir william montague , rode then in post , who declared vnto the king , the scotchmans hoast , who like a lyon in a rage , did straight prepare . for to deliuer that faire lady from wofull care . but when the scotchmen did heare say , edward our king was come that day . they rais'd their siedge and ran away with speed , so that when he did thither come , with warlike trumpets fife and drume , none but a gallant lady did him grreete , which when he did with greedy eyes , beholde and see : her peareles beautie straight inthral'd , his maiestie . and euer the longer that he lookt . the more he might , for in her onely beautie was , his harts delight , and humbly then vpon her knee , she thankt his royall maiestie : that thus had driuen danger from the gate , lady ( quoth he ) stand vp in peace , although my warre doth now increase , lord keepe quoth she all hurt from your annoy . now is the king full sad in soule , and wot you why , all for the loue of the faire countesse , of salisburie . she little knowing his cause of griefe , doth come to see : wherefore his highnes sate alone , so heauily . i haue beene wronged faire dame quoth he , since i came hither vnto thee , now god forbid my soueraigne she said , if i were worthy for to know , the cause and ground of this your woe , it should be helpt , if it doe lie in me . sweare to performe thy words to me , thou lady gay , to thee the sorrow of my heart ▪ i will be wray i sweare by all the saints in heauen , i will quoth shee : and let my lord haue no mistrust , at all in mee . then take thy selfe aside he said , and say thy beauty hath betraid , and wounded a king with thy bright shining eye , if thou doe then some mercy shew , thou shalt expell a princes woe , so shall i liue or else in sorrow die . you haue your wish my soueraigne lord , effectually : take all the loue that i may giue , your maiestie , but in thy beauty all my ioyes , haue theire abode : take then my beauty from my face , my gratious lord. didst thou not sweare to graunt vnto my will ? all that i may i will fulfill . then for my loue let thy true loue be seene my lord your speech i might reproue , you can not giue to mee your loue for that alone belongs vnto your queene but i suppose your grace did this , onely to try , whether a wanton tale might tempt , dame salisbury , not from your selfe therefore my liege , my steps doe stray : but from your tempting wanton tale , i goe my way . o turne againe thou lady bright , come vnto me my hearts delight , gone is the comfort of my pensiue heart , here comes the earle of warwicke he , the father of this faire lady , my minde to him i meane for to impart . why is my lord and soueraigne king , so grieu'd in minde : because that i haue lost the thing , i cannot finde : what thing is that my gratious lord , which you haue lost ? it is my heart which is neere dead , twixt fire and frost , curst be that frost , and fire too , which causeth thus your highnes woe , o warwicke thou dost wrong

king will die least thou to him , doe graunt thy loue . to loue the king my husbands loue , i should remooue it is true chastitie to loue , my daughter deare , but not true loue so charitably , for to

mayors that are to succeed in his place should bee knighted : and further hee graunted that there should bee a dagger added to the armes of the citty of london in the right quarter of the shield , for an augmentation of the armes . you haue told vs ( q. the ladies ) the end of wat tyler . but i pray you what became of iack straw and the rest of that rebellious route ? i will shew you ( quoth she ) iack straw with the rest of that rude rabble , being in the end apprehended ( as rebels neuer florish long ) was at the last brought to be executed at london , where he confessed that their intent ( was if they could haue brought their most vilde purpose to passe ) to haue murthered the king and his nobles , and to haue destroyed ( so neare as they could ) all the gentility of the land , hauing especially vowed the death of all the bishops abbots , and monkes : then to haue inriched themselues : they determined to set london on fire , and to haue taken spoyle of that honorable cittie , but the gallowes standing betwixt them and home , they were there trust vp before they could effect any thing . and such ends ( said the ladies ) send all rebels , and especially the desperate traytor , which at this present vext the whole state . with that word one of their seruants came running , saying , madam , the rebels are now marched out of wiltshire & hampshire , making hasty steps towards london , therefore now you neede not feare to come home , and commit the flockes to their former keepers . the ladies being ioyfull thereof appointed shortly after a banquet to be prepared , where they all met together againe : by which time the kings power ( hauing incountred the rebels on blackeheath ) ouerthrew their power , where the lord awdly was taken and committed to newgate from thence

though murder be committed secretlye , yet for revenge to god it loud doth crye . and that sinne goes not long unpunished , therefore let all men of this sinne take héede : many are daily for such crimes accused , and yet alas too commonly t is used . one of these brothers was in debt i heare , vnto that man , which was his neighbour néere , but hée repaid him with a envious mind , as in the story you shall plainly find . abraham gearsie was his name , that was kild , by those two brothers , as the devill wild : he on a day demanded mony due , i pray give eare and marke what doth insue . they wish'd him to come home for to be paid , but for his life it s●●mes they wast had laid : for one day t was his chance for to come there , n●t dreading that his death had bin so néere . now these two brothers kild him instantly , no neighbour was there that did heare him cry : and being dead floung him in a sawpit , and coverd him with such as they could get . now having hid this murder in that kind , great search was made , but none this man could find his friends lamented for him very sore . and made inquiris all the country ore . the second part , to the same tune . six wéekes it was ere it was plainly knowne , and many were examin'd herevpon : but these two brothers much suspected were , and at the last the truth it did appeare . some murmured and sayd that they did owe him mony , and desired for to know whether they had giuen him satisfaction , who said , they had , and they did owe him none . about this mony all did come to light , now being put for to approue this right they could in no wise iustifie the same . when they to true examination came . now they were asked for a quittans made , but they had none , then others present said , where is your bond or witnes of the same ? this must be prou'd , or you will suffer blame . they being taxed on this wise confest , how they in bloody murder had transgrest : then were they sent to harford gaile with spéed , where they did answere , for this wicked déed . this lent on sises last their fact was tri'd , where they were cast , condemnd and for it di'd , robert was prest to death because that hée would not bée tride by god and the country . richard was hangd by his owne fathers dore , which did torment and grieue his friends full sore , now hée and 's brother both do hang in chains , this is a iust reward for murders gaines . i would intreat all men sor to beware , of ●hue this crying sinne and still for beare , good lord , me thinkes it is a cruell thing , of all sins else this may each conscience sting . this being done , what is hée can forbeare , with troubled conscience to shed many a feare ? 't is fearefull sure for to be thought upon , although that it be ners so secret done . our god is love , and he doth charg us all , to love each other , but we often fall from love and unity , to envious evill , thus leave we god , and runne unto the devill . this may be warning for all other men , that doe but heare of those vile bretheren : and more consider 't is a fearefull sight to see them hang'd , it would our hearts afright ▪ yet some there are that will not frighted be at all , the warnings that they dayly sée : too many doe estéeme such things as nought , or else there would not be such murther wrought . thus to conclude , pray le ts to god for grace , and alwaies have his feare before our face : fly bloody murther , and such horrid sinnes , then god will kéep you from such shamefull ends . finis . r. c. printed at london for iohn wright iunior , dwelling at the upper end of the old baily . the two feruent louers. or a warlike kind of wooing as here at large is said betweene a braue young man, and a faithfull hearted maid. to the tune of the two louing sisters, or lulling beyond thee. l. p.

he had no son but only i , which made his gold and silver flye . when as my father had me sent , to sell his goods , or take up rent , i did consume and waste the same , in drinking or unlawful game , the cards and dice were my delight , i haunted taverns day and night ; lew'd woman were my chiefest joys , and my consorts were cut-purse-boys , god's holy word i disobey'd , i car'd not what the preacher said ; for quaffing cans of ale and beer , was all the service i would hear . then acting my ungracious part , i broke my aged father's heart , when ghastly death did on him seize , i thought myself in happy case . what he had left i thought well got , but now the shame falls to my lot ; five hundred pound of good red gold , for wine and beer i quickly sold . then was i prest to serve the king , that might my name to honour bring ; a souldier's life i held it base , and always took it in disgrace . and having thus consum'd my store , i to my mother went for more ; who sold and mortgaged her land , and put the mony in my hand : and then with tears these words she said , thou know'st my son thy father's dead , no more is left but i and thee , therefore dear son be good to me . if that thy love from me should fall , i have no friend on earth at all : therefore good son to me prove kind , and thou reward in heaven shalt find . then on my bended knees fell i , desiring of the lord on high , a shameful death might be his end , that would his mother once offend . all you that do no reckoning make , of swearing , when your words you speak , give ear to that which i will tell , lewd livers seldom dyeth well . you disobedient children all , draw near and listen to my fall , example take , repent in time , lest that your woes be like to mine . you fathers dear , and mothers kind , bear you this lesson in your mind , trust not too much a wicked child , for oft times men are so beguil'd : when twigs are green you may them ply , but let them grow while they be dry , they will so stiff and stubborn stand , you cannot bend them with your hand . so that i ran a wicked race , and to amend had not the grace , sixteen score pound in good red gold , into my hand my mother told . but in the compass of one year , i spent it all as may appear , and having left no means at all , i unto robbing straight did fall . thus did i steel my mother's rings , her brass , her pewter , and such things , the very bed whereon she lay , i like a villian stole away . what ever i could get or take , i thereof straight did mony make ; my flinty heart did feel no grief , to see my mother want relief . at last she grew exceeding poor , and beg'd relief from door to door : no infidel , nor pagan vild , could bring to light so bad a child . at last my mother lost her breath , as she constrained was by death ; who yields relief , when friends grow scant , and ease to them that are in want . from place to place then was i tost , by every man and woman crost , no harbour could i get , whereby i might at night in safe-guard lie . my dearest kinsfolks do me chide , my dearest friends mock and deride , those that were my conforts of late , their love is turned into hate . those that have feasted many a time , and fed upon that which was mine , despise at me along the street , as if they should a serpent meet . both old and young , both great and small , both rich and poor despise me all , no friend to take my part have i , but was constrain'd in fields to lie . in this my extream misery , by grief , and my necessity , no creature gave for my relief , one peice of bread to ease my grief . but like a poor despised wreatch , his latest gasp that he did fetch , was on a dung-hill in the night , when as no creature was in sight . bu in the morning he was found , as cold as clay upon the ground ; thus was he born in shame to dye , and end his days in misery . take warning young men by this vice , learn to avoid the cards and dice , lewd womans company forbear , they are the high-way unto care . all parents whilst your babes he young , look to their ways in hand and tongue , then wickedness will not abound , but grace in children will be found . london : printed by and for w.o. for a. m. and sold by j. deacon , at the angel in guil-spur-street . the youngmans careless wooing;

such a sad sonnet so pester'd with passion tearing her hair to the ground she did fall , but rising up undauntedly she unto him made this reply . if i should grant unto thee thy desire without obtaining my mother good will then i 'm sure all the fat 's in the fire : i know what i think , and think i will still , my muse and yours are paltry elves they may go hang and drown themselves . thou may'st go follow thy sweetheart to norwich she is a lass that 's fit for your tooth , a sluts good enough to make slovens porridge and that was the reason yea left me forsooth ; but this i say , and will do still , 't is a good iack makes a good jill . i must confess that i loved thee well one day , but e're that thou sindst me do so again , thou shalt come kiss me where i sat on sunday we foolish maids put to much trust in men , for when we think we are in our heaven , you leave us all at sixes and seavens . thou only seekest to know where my stock is but stay by my troth , some are wiser than som● near is my petticoat , nearer my smock is , and thy entertainment shall be like iack drum for when my portion thou hast got , 't is need that makes the old wife trot . and thus to conclude upon our conferring , most men are as false , very few men are true they are neither fish , flesh , nor yet good red herring we must speak truth , give the devil his dew and this shall be my last reply go walk up out knave what care i. printed for p. brooksby at the golden ball in pye-corner .

son and heire , the gods came all one day to gossip with her , her husband hymen glad to sée them there , dranke healths apace to bid them welcome thither , till drunke , to bed he went , and in that fit , he got the second birth a femall chit . the privy counsell of the heavens and planets , whose counsell governes all affaires on earth : they held a consultation in their senats , what should become of this prodigious birth : these strange effects , and correspondent qualities , which are brought forth by course , & by formalities . saturne gave sullennesse , iove soveraignty , mars

she did learne to use loose gestures with her hand and eye , with fained sighs , false teares , not to discerne , and divers such loose tricks of levity , lisping of kisses , smilings and such fits , as well might dride a kind man from his wits . venus well skill'd and apt to make escape , sent it to be brought up among the fayries , thus finding it to prove a pretty ape , wanton and merry , full

cuckt . there 's many such birds in our towne , whose fury no reason can swage , i de giue very gladly a crowne , to heare them all sing in a cage : poore men in subiection are held , so are modest women likewise , vnlesse their owne minde be fulfil'd , they 'll be ready to scratch out ones eies . what thinke you of ione the spinner , her husbands pocket she pickt , and she grudges her seruants their dinner oh such a queane would be kickt . nay kicking's too good for her , her husband of her stands in awe , out of doores he dares not stirre , for feare that he féele club law : if he to the ale-house steale , shée 'll goe as fast or faster , and there she will ring him a peale , that is worse then lord or master : what thinke you of ruth the seamstris , her tongue can no way be reclam'd , she rules o're poor tom like an empresse , oh such a proud wench would be tam'd . t is pitty that men are such fooles , to make themselues slaues to their wiues , for still where the foot the head rules , 't is wonder if any thing thriues : that man that will be his wifes drudge , of such a conceat i am , that if i might be his iudge , he should eat none o' th roasted ram : what thinke you of ione that cries pins , come eight rowes a penny cries shée , she has broken her husbands shins , and sweares shée 'll be drunke before hée . why , wherefore all this doth he suffer , why if he should giue her a check , she tels her friends how he doth cuff her , and threatens to break her neck : so he for feare shée 'll cry out , dares neither to strike nor chide her , for shée 'll giue the word all about , that his queans wil not let him abide her : what thinke you of drunken sue , for drinke she will sell all her smocks , i' th stréetes she will raile and spew , 't is fit she were tam'd in the stocks . the second part , to the same tune . nay sometimes besides her own getting , shée 'll pawne his shirt and his bréeches , which all shall be spent at a sitting , and thus she increaseth his riches : what thinks her poore husband of that , why , if he doe her reprehend , his face she will scratch like a cat , and sweares what she gets she will spend : what thinke you of peg the pie-woman , her nose hath béen cut and slasht , shée 's turnd now a dayes very common , oh such a queane would be lasht . last saturday noone at dinner , some spoke about her i suppose , how she was found nought with a ioyner , whose wife came and cut her nose : indéed no body can blame her , she has giuen her a mark to be knowne , and if all that will not shame her , the hangman has markt her for his own : what thinke you of snuffelling kate , by her many women haue smarted , she sels maidenheads at a rate , oh such a old trot would be carted . such cunning old sluts as she , indéed are the ruine of many , such fast holding lime-twigs they be , that if they get hold of any , there 's no spéech at all of dismissing , whiles money their turne can serue , thus whiles he his minion is kissing , his poore wife and children may starue : what thinke you of madge that cries wheat , she makes her poor husband shed teares , she vseth to cozen and cheat , but the pillory gapes for her eares . i heard lately how she did deale , with a butcher a notable blade , whom she guld of a quarter of veale , and thus she set vp her trade : since that she hath done many a sleight , as bad or rather worse , if you in her company light , i wish you take héed of you purse : what thinke you of quarrelling nan , that will to no goodnesse be turn'd , she threatens to kill her good man , oh such a queane would be burn'd . i me sorry to heare that newes , when man and wife are at strife : alas neighbour , how can you chuse , when a man goe in danger on 's life . loe thus we haue talkt away time , and nowe perforce must we part , the market is now in the prune , then farewell with all my heart : commend me to doll at the crowne , that message must not be mist , shée 's the kindest hostis in the towne , oh such a lasse would be kist . but stay neighbour , harke you one word , which i had forgotten before , what heare you of little kate bird , some say she is turnd arrant whore : indéed neighbour i thought no lesse , since that with her i was acquainted , a man can no otherwise guesse , her face is most basely painted : she ledges with mouldy fact nell , and i doubt they will neuer be parted , 'till the one get the lash in bridewell , and the other from newgate be carted . m. p. finis . printed at london for thomas lambert .

and i believe she was design'd t' eclipse the glory of her kind . a description of the spring . and now all nature seem'd in love , the lusty sun began to move : now juyce did stir th' embracing vines , and birds had drawn their valentines ; the jealous trout that low did lie , rose at a well-dissembled flie ; then stood my friend with patient skill , attending of his trembling quill . already were the eaves possest with the swift pilgrims dawbed nest ; the groves already did rejoyce , in philomel's triumphing voice ; the showrs were short , the weather mild , the morning fresh , the evening smil'd : ione takes her neat rub'd pail , and now she trips to meet the sand-red cow , where for some sturdy foot-ball swain ione stroaks a syllabub or twain : the fields and gardens were beset vvith tulip , crocus , violet : and now , though late , the modest rose did more than half a blush disclose : thus all lookt gay , all full of chear , to welcom this new liv'ried year . on a shepherd losing his mistris . tune , amongst the myrtles as i walk'd . . stay shepherd , prethee shepherd stay : didst thou not see her run this way ? where may she be , canst thou not guess ? alas ! i 've lost my shepherdess . . i fear some satyr has betray'd my pretty lamb unto the shade : then wo is me , for i 'm undone , for in the shade she was my sun. . in summer heat were she not seen , no solitary vale was green : the blooming hills , the downy meads , bear not a flower but where she treads . . hush'd were the senseless trees when she sate but to keep them company : the silver streams were swell'd with pride , when she sate singing by their side . . the pink , the cowslip , and the rose strive to salute her where she goes ; and then contend to kiss her shoo , the pancy and the daizy too . . but now i wander on the plains , forsake my home , and fellow-swains , and must for want of her , i see , resolve to die in misery . . for when i think to find my love within the bosom of a grove , methinks the grove bids me forbear , and sighing says , she is not here . . next do i fly unto the woods , where flora pranks her self with buds , thinking to find her there : but lo ! the myrtles and the shrubs say , no. . then what shall i unhappy do , or whom shall i complain unto ? no , no , here i 'm resolv'd to die , welcome sweet death and destiny . the soldiers resolution . here stands the man that for his countreys good has with couragious arms in sweat and blood ran through an host of pikes : he , he i was out-dar'd the thunder of the roaring brass , kickt my black stars , spurn'd balls of fire with sco● like to a foot-ball in a frosty morn ; made death to tremble , and have bid my drum beat a defiance to the cowardly scum . and shall i now like a pedantick stand , scraping and crouching with my cap in hand to base-born peasants ? no , he 's but a worm that strikes his top-sail to a little storm . here then i 'l fix , that nothing shall controul the resolutions of a gallant soul. on the golden cross in cheapside . two fellows gazing at the cross in cheap , says one , methinks it is the rarest heap of stone that e're was built ;

which done , told him he was a gentleman of note , and that he had a very glorious coat . prethee , what is 't ? quoth he , and here 's your fees . sir , says the herald , 't is two rampant trees , one couchant ;

so to the church away they hie . . and iove send every pretty peat , that fears to die of this conceit , so kind a friend to help at last : then maids shall never long again , when they find ease for such a pain : and thus my roundelay is past . a song on love. . if love be life , i long to die ; live they that list for me , and he that gains the most thereby . a fool at least shall be . but he that feels the forest fits , scapes with no less than loss of wits . unhappy life they gain , which love do entertain . . in day by feigned looks they live , by lying dreams in night : each ●rown a deadly wound doth give , each smile a false delight . if 't hap their lady pleasant seem , it is for others love they deem : if void she seem of joy , disdain doth make her coy . . such is the peace that lovers find , such is the life they lead , blown here and there with every wind , like flowers in the mead. now war , now peace , then war again , desire , despair , delight , disdain , though dead , in midst of life ; in peace , and yet at strife . a song . i serve amynta whiter than the snow , streighter than cedar , brighter than the glass , more sine in trip than foot of running roe , more pleasant than the field of flow'ring grass ; more gladsom to my with'ring joys that fade , than winters sun , or summers cooling shade . . sweeter than swelling grape of ripest vine , softer than feathers of the fairest swan , smoother than jet , more stately than the pine , fresher than poplar , smaller than my span , clear●r than phoebus fiery pointed beam , or icy crust of crystals frozen streams . . yet is she curster than the bear by kind , and harder-hearted than the aged oak : more glib than oyl , more sickle than the wind , more stiff than steel , no sooner bent but broke . lo thus my service is a lasting sore ; yet will i serve , although i die therefore . the description of love , in a dialogue between two shepherds , will and tom. tom. . shepherd , what 's love , i prethee tell ? will. it is that fountain and that well where pleasure and repeutance dwell : it is perhaps that fauncing bell that toles all-in to heaven or hell , and this is love , as i heard tell . t. . yet what is love , i prethee say ? w. it is a work on holy-day : it is december match'd with may , when lusty bloods in fresh array , hearten months after of their play ; and this is love , as i hear say . t. . yet what is love , i pray be plain ? w. it is a sun-shine mixt with rain ; it is a tooth-ach , or worse pain ; it is a game , where none doth gain , it is a thing turmoils the brain : and this is love , as i hear sayen . t. . yet shepherd , what is love , i pray ? w. it is a yea , it is a nay , a pretty kind of sporting fray ; it is a thing will soon away , for 't will not long with any stay : and this is love , as i hear say . t. . yet what is love , good shepherd show ? w. a thing that creeps , it cannot go ; a prize that passeth to and fro , a thing for one , a thing for moe , and he that loves shall find it so : and shepherd , this is love , i trow . a song call'd loves lottery . at the dukes house . run to loves lottery , run maids , and rejoice , whilst seeking your chance , you meet you own choice , and boast that your luck you helpt with design , by praying cross-legg'd to s. valentine . hark , hark , a prize is drawn , and trumpets sound tanta , ra , ra , tanta , ra , ra , tanta , ra , ra . hark maids , more lots are drawn , prizes abound ;

o then befel my shame , which i 'me afraid to tell ! ay me that i had never lov'd so well . . o had i been so wise as not t' have yielded up my virgin-fort , my life had been without a blot , and dar'd the envy of report ;

for as they fell down , all the way they turn'd . on a mighty rain . heaven did not weep , but in its swelling eye whole seas of rheum and moist catarhs did lie , which so bespawl'd the lower world , men see corn blasted , and the fruit of every tree : air was condens'd to water , 'gainst their wish , and all their fowl were turn'd to flying fish : like watermen they throng'd to ply a fare , and thought it had been navigable air : beasts lost their natural motion of each limb ; forgot to go , with practising to swim . a trout now here , you would not think how soon ta'ne ready drest forth ' empress of the moon : the fixed stars , though to our eyes were missing , we knew yet were , by their continual hissing . women seem'd maremaids , sailing with the wind , the greatest miracle was fish behind : but men are all kept short against their wish , and could commit but the cold sin of fish. the blunt lover . madam , i cannot court your sprightly eyes with a base-viol plac'd betwixt my thighs : i cannot lisp , nor to the guittar sing , and tire my brains with simple sonnetting , i am not fashion'd for these amorous times , and cannot court you in lascivious rhimes : nor can i whine in puling elegies , and at your feet lie begging from your eyes a gracious look : i cannot dance nor caper , nor dally , swear , protest , lie , rant , and vaper , i cannot kiss your hand , play with your hair , and tell you that you only are most fair : i cannot cross my arms , nor cry , ay me poor forlorn man ! all this is foppery . nor can i masquerade , as th' fashion 's now , no , no , my heart to these can never bow : but what i can do , i shall tell you roundly , hark in your ear ; by iove i 'le kiss you soundly . on a watch lost in a tavern . a watch lost in a tavern ! that 's a crime ; then see how men by drinking lose their time . the watch kept time ; and if time will away , i see no reason why the watch should stay . you say the key hung out , and you forgot to lock it , time will not be kept pris'ner in a pocket . henceforth if you will keep your watch , this do , pocket your watch , and watch your pocket too . a song , with the latine to it . when as the nightingale chanted her vesper , and the wild forresters couch'd on the ground , venus invited me in the evenings whisper unto a fragrant field with roses crown'd , where she before had sent her wishes complement , which to her hearts content plaid with me on the green : never mark anthony dallied more wantonly with the fair egyptian queen . the latin. cantu luscinia somnum ●rritat , salvi vagi sunt in cubilibus : hoc me silentio venus invitat , ad viridarium fragrantius ;

bacchus by war the lapiths did destroy . when thou with both or either are possest , shame , honesty , and fear oft flies thy brest : in fetters venus keep , in gyves bacchus tye , lest by their free gifts they thee damnifie . use wine for thirst , venus for lawful seed ;

discord by discord think to case , or any man with scoffs appease : so war by battel to restrain , and labour mitigate by pain : command a sudden peace between two shrill scolds in the height of spleen : by drink to queneh drink is all one , as is by strife , strife to attone . a song called hide-park . the tune , honour invites you to delights , come to the court , and be all made knights . . come all you noble , you that are neat ones , hide-park is now both fresh and green : come all you gallants that are great ones , and are desirous to be seen : would you a wife or mistriss rare , here are the best of england fair : here you may chuse , also refuse , as you your judgments ple●se to use . . come all you courtiers in your neat fashions , rich in your new unpaid-for silk : come you brave wenches , and court your stations , here in the bushes the maids do milk : come then and revel , the spring invites beauty and youth for your delights , all that are fair , all that are rare , you shall have license to compare . . here the great ladies all of the land are , drawn with six horses at the least : here are all that of the strand are , and to be seen now at the best . westminster-hall , who is of the court , unto his place doth now all resort : both high and low here you may know , and all do come themselves to shew . . the merchants wives that keep their coaches , here in the park do take the air ;

and wish'd , as they did tell , that he might one day find it all in hell. the man affrighted at this apparition , upon recovery grew a great precisian ; he bought a bible of the new translation , and in his life he shew'd great reformation : he walk'd demurely , and he talked meekly , he heard two lectures , and two sermons weekly : he vow'd to shun all company unruly , and in his speech he us'd no oath but truly : and zealously to help the sabbaths rest , the meat for that day on the eve was drest : and lest the custom that he had to steal , might cause him sometimes to forget his zeal , he gives his journey-man a special charge , that if the stuff allow'd fell out to large , and that to filch his fingers were inclin'd , he then should put the banner in his mind . this done , i scarce can tell the rest for laughter , a captain of a ship came three days after , and bought three yards of velvet & three quarters , to make his vest so large to hang below his garters , he that precisely knew what was enough , soon slip● away a quarter of the stust : his man espying it , said in derision , remember , master , how you saw the vision . peace , fool , quoth he , i did not see one rag of such like colour'd stuff within the flag . the scotch girls complaint for an englishmans going away , when my lord monk came for england . . ill tide this cruel peace that hath gain'd a war on me , i never fancied laddy till i saw mine enemy : o methoughts he was the bl●●hest one that e're i set mine eyes upon : vvell might have fool'd a wiser one , as he did me : he look'd so pretty , and talk'd so witty , none could deny , but needs must yield the fort up , gude faith , and so did i. . tantara went the trumpets , and strait we were in arms , vve dreaded no invasions , embrances were our charms . as we close to one another sit , did according to our mothers wit , but hardly now can smother it , it will be known , alack and welly , sick back and belly , never was maid , a soldier is a coming , though young , makes me afraid . . to england bear this sonnet , direct it unto none , but to the brave monk-heroes , both sigh and singing moan : some there are perhaps will take my part , at his bosom cupid shake his dart , that from me he ne'r may part , that is mine own : o maist thou never wear bow and quiver , till i may see once more the happy feature of my lov'd enemy . on fairford curious church-windows , which scap'd the war and the puritan . tell me , you anti-saints , why glass to you is longer liv'd than bras● ;

for what is meant mischief oft-times proves favours by th' event . . what though i cannot see my king , neither in 's person , nor his coin : yet contemplation is a thing which renders what i have not mine : my king from me what adamants can part , whom i do wear engraven on my heart ? . have you not seen the nightingale a pris'ner like , coop'd in a cage ? how she doth chaunt her wonted tale , in that her narrow hermita● ? even then her melody doth plain●y prove , that her boughs are trees , her cage a grove . . i am that bird whom they combine thus to deprive of liberty : although they see my corps confin'd , yet maugre hate , my soul is free . although i 'm mew'd , yet i can chirp and sing , disgrace to rebels , glory to my king. on his first love. my first love whom all beauty did adorn , firing my heart , supprest it with her scorn , and since like tinder in my breast it lies , by every sparkle made a sacrifice : each wanton eye , now kindles my desire , and that is now to all , which was intire : for now my wanton thoughts are not confin'd unto a woman , but to woman kind : this for her shape i love , that for her face , this for her gesture , or some other grace : and sometimes when i none of these can find , i chuse them by the kernel , not the rind ; and so do hope , though my chief hope be gone , to find in many what i lost in one . she is in fault which caus'd me first to stray , needs must he wander which hath lost his way : guildess i am , she did this change provoke , and made that charcoal , which at first was oak : for as a looking-glass to the aspect , whilst it is whole , doth but one face reflect ; but crack'd and broken in pieces , there are shown many false faces where first was but one : so love into my heart did first prefer her image , and there plan●ed none but her : but when 't was crack'd and martyr'd by her scorn , many less faces in her sea● were born : thus like to tinder , i am prone to catch each falling sparkle , fit for any match . on his mistris● going to sea. farewel , fair saint , may not the seas and wind swell like the heart and eyes you left behind : but calm and gentle , like the looks they bear , smile in your face , and whisper in your car : l●t no foul billow offer to arise , that it might nearer look upon your eyes ; lest wind and waves enamour'd with such form , should throng and crowd themselves into a storm . but if it be your fate , vast seas , to love , of my becalmed heart learn how to move : move then but in a gentle lovers pace , no wrinckles , nor no furrows in your face ; and you sicrce winds , see that you tell your tale in such a breath as may but fill her sail : so while you court her each a several way , you will her safely to her port convey , and lose her in a noble way of wooing , whilst both contribute to her own undoing . on a blush . stay lusty blood , where wilt thou seek so blest a place as in her cheek ? how canst thou from that cheek retire , where vertue doth command desire ? but if thou canst not stay , then flow down to her panting paps below ; flow like a deluge from her breasts , where venus swans have built their nests ; and so take glory to bestain with azure blew each swelling vein : then boiling , run through every part , till thou hast warm'd her frozen heart : and if from love it would retire , then martyr it with gentle sire : and having search'd each secret place , fly thou back into her face : where live thou blest in changing those white l●llies to a ruddy rose . in praise of a mask . there is not half so warm a fire in fruition as desire : when we have got the fruit of pain , possession makes us poor again . expected form and shape unknown , whets and makes sharp temptation : sense is too nigardly for bliss , and daily pays us with what is . but ignorance doth give us all that can within her brightness fall . veil therefore still , whilst i divine the riches of that hidden mine ; and make imagination tell all wealth that can in beauty dwell . thus the highly valu'd oar , earths dark exchequer keeps in store : and search'd in secret , only quits the travel of the hands and wits ;

those azure paths lead to despair . o vex me ●ot , forbear , forbear : for whilst i thus in torment dwell , the sight of heaven is worse than hell. your dainty voice , and warbling breath , sound like a sentence past for death : your dangling tresses are become the instruments of final doom ; o if an angel torture so when life is done , what shall i do ? to his mistris . i 'll tell you how the rose did first grow red , and whence the lilly whiteness borrowed : you blush'd , and then the rose with red was dight ; the lilly kist your hand , and so came white . before that time each rose had but a stain , the lilly nought but paleness did contain : you have the native colour , those the dye , they slourish onely in your eye . hic jacet john shorthose sine hose , sine shooes , sine breeches , qui fuit dum vixit , sine goods , sine lands , sine riches . on his mistris . is she not wondrous fair ? o but i see she is so much too sweet , too fair for me , that i forget my flames , and every fi●e hath taught me not to love , but to admire : just like the sun , methinks i see her face , which i should gaze on still , but not embrace ; for 't is heavens pleasure that she should be sent as pure to heaven again , as she was lent to us : and bid us , as we hope for bliss , not to profane her with a mortal kiss . then how cold grows my love , and i how hot ? o how i love her , how i love her not ! so doth my ague-love torment by turns , and now it freezeth , now again it burns . a sigh . go thou gentle whisp'ring ' wind , bear this sigh , and if you find where my cruel fair doth rest , cast it in her snowy breast : the sweet kisses thou shalt gain , will reward thee for thy pain . taste her lips , and then confess , if arabia doth possess or the hybla honour'd hill , sweets like those that there distil . having got so , with a fee do another boon for me : thou canst with thy powerful blast heat apace , and cool as fast : then for pity either stir up the fire of love in her , that alike both slames may shine , or else quite extinguish mine . to a spruce and very finely deck'd lady . . still to be neat , still to be drest , as if you were going to a feast ▪ still to be powder'd , still perfum'd , lady , it is to be presum'd , though arts hid causes are not found , all is not sweet , all is not sound . . give me a look , give me a face , that makes simplicity a grace ;

and the soft tye of fixt desire binds the hog to the paradise of his dear mire : the horse frisks about , but cannot get out ; and the anchor gives way to the boysterous sea. husbands indeed are oft deserv'dly caught in their own traps , by others claps , or midwives , nurses , cradles dearly bout . these felons to themselves are their own jail : some on the parish do their bratsentail , like tories from thir wives and children run , designing but to do , and be undone : or else like hedghogs under crabtrees roll , to bring home to their drabs a burthen of crabs , and then retire to their hole . but well fare the owl , of all feather'd fowl , that in the contented ivy-bush sings ;

but i confesse , 't is my unworthiness that i in sorrow thus am left alone : i doated on her , and thought to 'a won her , but wo is me i still must think upon her , which is the cause of all my smart ; she lookt so pretty , and talkt so witty , none that ere i saw in town or in city ere like her could thus surprize my heart . . had i set my heart , to have lov'd her but in part , as only to enjoy her angels face , her curious eye , or cheeks of rosie die , or lip , or any one peculiar grace ;

one hope is this , in this my wosul case , my rue , though bitter , may prove herbe of grace . the ita●i●n pedlar . . maids see what you lack ere i open my pack , for here is that will please you ; do you dreame in your beds , or with your maiden-heads be you troubled , i will ease you . . is there any one among these marry'd men strong , has a head of his wives making ? i have capps to be worne , that shall cover his ho●ne , and keep his brow fro●●aking . . does any man mistrust , that his wife is unjust , or that she loves to be ranging ? i have that in my box , which excee 's italian locks , 't will keep her chast : that 's a strange thing . . is there any woman here , has bin married a year , and not bin made a mother ? i have that at my back , shall supply her of that lack , and i 'le use her sor't , like a brother . . i have fine gloves for you and your loves , bands , handkerchers , and laces ;

let this suffice , i sympathize with thee both day and night . . damon dost thou aske it , thou art the cause of all , therefore do not mask it , for thou hast wrought my fall ; for i gave thee a ring which thou hast coelia gave , our true-loves band , t was on her hand , which ring thy life did save ; but wo is me , thy falsitie has brought me to my grave . . damon then began on phillis for to smile , she call'd him perjur'd man , and should no more beguile , no my dearest phill , i blame thy jealousie ;

she 's the grief of my heart , but joy of my eye , the cause of my flame , that never can dye . . her lips , from whence wit obligingly flowes , has the colour of cherryes , and smell of the rose ; love and destiny both attends on her will , she saves with a smile , with a frown she can kill . . the desperate lover can hope no red●esse , where beauty and rigour , are both in excesse : in coelia they meet , so unhappy am i ;

and there ( poore things ) they then resolv●d to be merry too , and with them did bring good store of jun-ketting stuffe , as bisket , and cakes , and suger , and syder , and perry too , of each such a quantity , that was more than enough . . but mark what chanc●t unto this innocent crew then , who thought themselves secure from any eare ; they knew 't was dark , that none cou d take a view then , and all did seem to be voyd of any feare ; then every one uncas'd themselves , both smock & all and each expected first who should begin ; and that they might stay but an houre , they told the clock and all : then all in a te-he-ing vaine did enter in . ● . but now comes out the tale i meant to tell ye , for a crew of jovial lads were there before , and finding there some viands for their belly , they eas'd em then poor hearts of all their store ; then every lad sate down upon the grasse there , and whisper'd thanks to th' girls for their good cheare ▪ in which they drank a health to every lass there , that then were washing & rinsing without any fear . . and when they had pleas'd ( and fill'd ) their bellies and pallats too , they back did come unto the foresaid place , and took away their smocks , and both their wallets too ▪ which brought their good bubb , and left them in pittifull case , for presently they all came out toth ' larder there , that it put 'em unto their shifts their smocks to find ; i think , says one , my shift is a little farder there , i , i , sayes another , for yours did lye by mine . . at last , says one , the divel a smock is here at all , the devil , a bit of bread , or drop of drink , they 've took every morsel of our good cheare and all and nothing but gowns and petticoats left , as i think , at last , says one , if they 'd give us our smocks agen , and likewise part of what we hither brought , we shall be much oblieg d , and think'em gentlemen , and by this foolish example be better taught . . although in the river they were as many as crickets there , 'twixt laughing and fretting their state they did condole ; and then came one of the lads from out of the thickets there and told 'em hee 'd bring 'em their smocks , and what was stole , they only with petticoats on , like jipsies were clad then , he brought 'em their smocks , and what he had promis'd before . they fell to eat , and drink as if they 'd been mad there , and glad they were all , they 'd got so much of their store . . and when they all had made a good repast there , they put on their cloths , and all resolv'd to be gone ; then out comes all the ladds in very great hast there , and every one to the other then was known ; the girles did then conjure the ladds that were there , to what had past their lipps shou●d still be seal●d , nay more than that they made 'em all to swear there , to which they did , that nothing should be reveal d. . then each at other did make a pass at kissing then , and round it went to every one level coile , but thinking that at home they might be missing then , and fear'd that they had stay'd too great a while ; then hand in hand they alltogether marcht away , and every lad convey'd his mistris home , agen they kist , then every lass her man did pray , that what had past , no more of that but mum. the unparalel'd lady : the tune , 'twixt greece and troy. . vvhen first i saw my coeli'as face , o how my heart was inflam'd with love ; i deem'd her of no humane race , but angell-like drop't from above ; her star-like eyes with their glim'ring glances then shin'd so bright , like the greatest comet , when we look upon i● 'till it takes away the sight . . her nose is like a promontory , which over-looks some pleasant place , her cheeks like roses in their glory , and teeth of oriental race ; her corall lipps , like the cherryes when they 're growing on the tree ; but the greatest bliss is , thence to gather kisses , wou'd the cropp belong'd to me . . and underneath her snow-white neck , there you may find an ivory plaine , on which two christal mounts are set tipt with a ruby-fount in graine , this is the place , which formerly was call'd the milky-way . o that i might tipple still at such a nipple , and forever there might s●ay . . her hands are of so pure a white , that with the swan they dare to vie ; but when upon a lu●e they light , then you will hear such harmony : but when her voice and that together then play their parts , you 'd think the spheres united , and thither had invited all , to captivate their hearts . . her feet were so epitomiz'd , like peeping-mice did still appear , that all the crew were then surpriz'd to see her dance a measure there ▪ she mov'd so well , you 'd think she had not danc't then , but flown : i would spend a talent , for to be her gallant , and call her still mine own . the politick girle . the tune the duke of mo●mouths iigge . . my dearest katy , prethee be but constant now , and whatsoe're is pa●t , i shall forget i vow ; do thou be kind , and give me but thy hand upon 't , and for my faith thou need'st not doubt or stand upon 't ; i 'le furnish thee with all the cakes in season s●ill , and whatsoe're thou shalt desire in reason still ; nay more than that , thy annal due i 'le pay to thee , and in all moderate things will still give way to thee . . i must confess thy pension came but flow of late , which is the cause i think that thou didst change thy mate ; for when the sinewy-part of love is took away , we know the strength thereof will lessen every day : but now thou know'st the tide is turn'd my bonny kate , my fathers dead , and we shall want no mony kate ; for he by will has made me heire of all my dear , that we no more in debt i hope shall fa●l my dear . . thou seest how plainly now i 've told my mind to thee , and also find'st that i will still be kind to thee ; what remora then can stop the course of joining now our hearts and hands , come katy no repining now ; she told him then , do you forgive but my past faults , and i will likewise pardon all your by past faults ; he call'd her then his mistriss and his goddess to , and then they join'd their hands & lip 's & body to . . thus have you seen this jarring couple now agree , and all mistakes are now knit up in amitie , she slighted all addresses he did make to her . because she found his purse could never speak to her ; but when she saw the ginny birds to fly agen , she then resolv'd the knot of love to ●ye agen , and so 't will last 'till all the birds are fled and gone , then march her self , and give it out she 's dead and gone , the amorous girle . to the tune of the crab of the wo●d . . there 's none so pretty , as my sweet betty , she bears away the bell ; for sweetness and neatnesse , and all compleatness , all other girles doth excell . . when ever we meet , shee 'l lovingly greet me still with a how dee' doe ; well i thank you , quoth i , then she will reply , so am i sir the better for you . i askt her how , she told me , not now , for walls had cares and eyes ▪ nay she bid me take heed , what ever i did , for 't is good to be merry and wise . . then i took her by th' hand , which she did not withstand , and i gave her a smirking kiss ; she gave me another just like the tother ; quoth i , what a comfort is this ? . this put me in heart to play o're my part that i had intended before ; but she bid me to hold , and not be too bold , untill she had fastned the doore . . then she went to the hatch , to see that the latch and cranies were all cocksure , and when she had done , she bid me come on , for now we were both secure . . and what we did there , i dare not declare , but think that silence is best ; and if you will know , why i kist her , or so , but i 'le leave you to guess at the rest . the two vertuous sisters : the tune the gun-steet . . my cozen moll 's an arrant whore , and so is her sister kate , they kickt their mother out o dore , and broke their fathers pate ; and all because they crav'd a bit , i mean a bit alone sir , for they with a bit would give 'em a knock , that 's a bit and a knock , or none sir. . they 'r cleanly too , i needs must say , as any girles i' th towne . they sweep the house a new found way , that 's once a quarter round ; so fine 't is kept , that when 't is swept , i speak ● in their defence sir , ▪ t will yeild at a spur● , in dust and dirt . come fourteen or fifteen pen●● 〈◊〉 . . so fine and neate they dresse the●● meat , i thought it alway●● best to let it alone , till all was gone , and then to eat the rest ; for he that puts a bit in his guts , and did but see the dressing , no physick could e're give a vomit so cleare , which i think is a notable blessing . . some whores are counted shifters to ▪ but they did hate 'em all , they shift their smocks with much adoe but every spring and fall. they say 't is good to cleanse the blood , and think 'em worth the turning , and when they 're black upon their back , they call it inside mourning . . they will be drunk a little to , i mean but twice a day , they i swear and roare , and drink and spew , and then they down will lay ; and so they 'l sleep , ▪ till day gin peep , then call for more by dozens , and to my freind there s now an end of both my dirty cozens . the beneficial wedding . the tune , phil : porters dreame . and i have a mind to be marry'd , and so has you know who , wee both too long have tarry'd , and therefore i mean to woe : then i did give her a buss , and she gave me a ring , and so we bust , and kist and bust , and kist like any thing . . her grandsire gave her a cow , and her grannam a ewe and lambe , she say'd shee l suckle it too , untill it had left the dam ; her uncle gave her a hogge , her aunt a teeming sow , for bacon and sowse , to keep the house , and make em puddings enow . . her father gave her a gowne , her mother a petticote , which was of a mingl d brown , the best that cou'd be bought , her brother gave her a cock , and her sister a breeding hen , to tread and breed , and breed and tread . and tread , and breed agen . . her cozen took a care , to give her a rug was new , his wife did give her a paire of sheets and blankets too ; but she had a speciall friend that was a young upholster , you must not know the reason now , did give her a bed , and a bolster . . a friend did give her a wastcoat , and hose , and shooes , and hat , another did give her a la●'t coat , but 't is no matter for that so long as 't is our own , no matter how it come , they keep her fine , and give her vvine ▪ but no more of that but mum. . another did take her a house , and pay d a twelvemonths ren● , and furnis●'d me and my spouse with what at the wedding was spent ; then we desir'd to know , what trade we both should drive ; they say'd good ale wou'd neve● fail if ever we meant to thrive . . we both are ●itted now i think , with store of houshold stuff , and likewise cloths and meat and drink as much as is enough ;

there 's nothing that can their fancy please more , than to see foolish men their feature adore . . they would by their frowns to observance perswade , the men they do fancy their slaves they have made , and to be sure they will tyranize more , if a man do but once their pitty implore . why then should we men frail women adore , since their pride is so great , and their pitty no more , . but sure all that sex can ne'r prove so vain , to sport or delight in a true-lovers pain ;

for e're since i have sigh'd ; and do what i can , i find i must , &c. . in bed all the night , i weep on my pillow , to see some maids happy , whilst i wear the willow , i revenge my self on the innocent sheet , wherein i have oft made my teeth for to meet , but i fear 't is in vain ▪ let ●●e do what i can , i must languish for ever for want of ● man ; but in my dispair , i 'le dye if i can and languish no longer for want of a man. a late song . . how charming are those pleasant pains , which the successful lover gains . o● how the longing spirit flyes , on scorching sighs from dying eyes , whose intermixing rayes impart , loves welcome message from the heart ? . then how the active pulse growes warm to every s nse gives the allarm but oh the rashness , and the qualmes when love unites the melting palmes ! what extasies , what hopes and feares , what pretty talk , and amorous tears ? . to these a thousand vows succeed , and then , o me , still we proceed , 'till sense and souls are bath'd in bliss , think dear aminda think on this , and curse those hours we did not prove the ravishing delights of love. a theatre song . i must confess not many years ago . 't was death when e're my mistress answear●d no ; then i was subject to her female yoak , and stood or fell by every word she spoke ; but now i find the intregues of love to be , nought but the follies of our infancy . . i can a rich or handsome lady court , either for my convenience or for sport ; but if the one be proud or the other coy , i cannot break my sleep for such a toy ; my heart is now for all assaults prepar d , and will not be commanded or insnar'd . the new song in charles the eighth set by mr. pelham humphrey's . oh love if ere thou wilt ease a heart that ownes thy power divine , and bleeds with thy too cruel dart , take pitty now on mine ; under thy shades i fainting lye , a thousand times i wish'd to die ; but when i find cold death too nigh , i grieve to lose my pleasing pain and call my wishes back again . and thus as i sat all alone in the shady mirtle grove ; and to each gentle sigh and moan some neighbouring eccho gave a groan , came by the man i love ; o how i strove my greif to hide , i panted , blusht and almost dyed . and did each tatling ecchoe chide , for fear some breath of moving air should to his ears my sorrow bear . and oh you powers , i dye to gain but one poor panting kiss , glad yet i 'de be on racks of paine , ere i 'de one thought or wish retain that honour thinks amiss : thus are poor maids unkindly us'd , by love and nature both abus'd , our tender hearts all ease refuse ; and when we burn with secret flame , must bear our greifs , or dye with shame . on his mistris that lov'd hunting . . leave coelia , leave the woods to chase , 't is not a sport , nor yet a place for one that has so sweet a face . . nets in thy hand , nets in thy brow , in every limb a snare , and thou dost lavish them thou car'st not how . . fond girle these wild haunts are not best to hunt : nor is a savage beast a fit prey for so sweet a breast . . o do but cast thine eyes behind , i 'le carry thee where then shalt find a tame heart of a better kind . . one that hath set soft snares for thee , snares where if once thou fettered be , thou ● never covet to be free . . the dews of april , the vvinds of may that flowr's the meads , and glads the day , are not more soft , more sweet than they . . and when thou chancest for to kill , thou needst not fear no other ill than turtles suffer when they bill . on a scriv'ner . here to a period is a scriv'ner come ; this is his last sheet , full point and total sum of all aspersions , i excuse him not , 't is plain , he liv'd not without many a blot ; yet he no ill example shew'd to any , but rather gave good coppies unto many . he in good letters allwayes had been bred , and hath writ more , then many men have read . he rulers had at his command by law , although he could not hang , yet he could draw . he did more , bondmen make then any , a dash of 's pen alone did ruine many , that not without all reason we may call his letters great or little , capitall ; yet t is the scrivner s fate as ●ure as just , when he hath all done , then he falls to dust . on a sexton . i many graves have made , yet injoy'd none , this which i ma e not , i possess'd alone ; each corps withoug imbalming it did serve my life like precious balsome to preserve ; but death then kind was , now cruel found i have ; robbing me of life , without my living grave ; and yet 't was kind still to , for in the grave where once i labour had , now peace i have ; i made good use of time , and night and day took care and heed , how th' hours go away , i still was ready for a grave , nor shall i grieve at what i most joy'd , a funeral as i was wont , no not so prone as then , out of the grave i shall arise agen . on a fart . i sing the praises of a fart , that i may doo 't by terms of art ; i will invoke no deitie , but butter'd pease and furmetie ; and think their help sufficient to fit and furnish my intent ; when virgils gnat , and ovids flea , and homers frog strove for the day ; there is no reason in my mind , why a fart should come behind , since that we may it paralel , with any thing that doth excell ; musi●k is but a fart that s sent , from the guts of an instrument ; the scholler farts , when he gains learning with cracking of his brains , and when he hath spent much pain and oyl , thomas and others to reconcile , for to learn the distracting art . what doth he get by it ? not a fart ; the thunder that does roar so loud is but the farting of a cloud ; and if withall the wind do stirr up rain , then 't is a farting sirrup ; the soldier makes his foes to run , with bu● the farting of a gun , that 's if he make the bullets whistle , else 't is no better then a sizle ; ●ine boats that by the times about , are but farts several docks let out ; they are but farts , the words we say , words are but words , and so are they ; farts are as good as land , for both we hold in tail , and let 'em both ; as soon as born they by and by fart-like bu● only sing and dye ; applause is but a fart , the rude blast of the whole multitude ; and what is working ale i pray ; but farting barme , which makes a way out at the bunghole , by farting noise , when we do hear it's sputtring voice ; and when new drank , and without hopps , it makes us fart , and seldom stops . i more of farts would write i vow ; but for my gutts i cannot now , for now they wonderfully rumble , and my stomack begins to grumble , which makes me think that farts e're long will at my nock there find a tongue , and there sing out their own praises , in thundring and in choaking phrases ; where i leave them , and them to you , and so i bid you all adieu . what i have said take in good part , if not , i do not care a fart . silence the best wooer . . wrong not dear empress of my heart , the merits of true passion , with thinking that he feels no smart , that sues for no compassion . . since that my thoughts serve not to prove the conquest of your beauty , it comes not from defect of love , but from excess of duty . . for think you that i sue to serve a saint of such perfection as all desire , but none deserve a place in her affection . . i rather chuse to want relief , than venture the relieving , vvhen glory recommends the grief , despair distrust's th'atchieving . . thus the desires that aim too high for any mortal lover , vvhen reason cannot make ▪ em dye , discretion doth them cover . . yet when discretion doth believe , the plaints that they shall utter ; then thy discretion may perceive , that silence is a sutor . . silence in love bewrayes more woe , than words though nere so witty ; ●he begger that is dumb you know deserveth double pitty . . then mis-conceive not , dearest heart , my true though secret passion ; he smarteth most that hides his smart , and sues for no compassion . beauty is not the guide to affection . of beauty there 's no rule , neither can be , since that i like , pleases not him , nor thee . one likes a dimpled cheek , a double chin , one likes a sparkling eye , and so agen ; one likes a lusty lass , to quench his fire , another , might he have but his desire , would reject all we have nam'd before , and nor double chin , nor dimpled cheek adore , neither would care for sparkling eye a bit , and reject lustiness , but adore vvit ; one likes a lady that is short , and small ; another one perhaps that 's big and tall ; you like a lady cause shee 's very free , i don't , for fear i should cornuted be ; one likes a vvoman , for such , and such a grace , one cares for nothing but a handsome face ; one loves to see flaxen locks hang down , another man delights in lovely brown . thus all men vary you do see , and now where 's the good man i pray that kiss'd the cow ?

, that daily betwixt man and woman are séene , i speake against iealousie that monster fierce . and wish i could conquer the fiend with my verse , o be not thou jealous i prethee deere lad , for jelousie makes many good women bad . if thou have a good wife then i shée advise to cherish her well for shée is a rare prize , if shee bee indifferent betweene good and bad , good meanes to reforme her may easily be had : if shee vee so evill that there is few worse , imagin thy sinnes have deserved that curse , then beare with true patience thy crosse as 't is fit , and thou to a blessing thereby maist turne it . but be not , &c. betwéene these . winds the good , bad , & the meane , i ground the whole argument of this my theme , for in them a mans humane blisse , or his woe , doth chiefly consist as experience doth show : thus is it not counsell that 's worthy regard , which teacheth to soften a thing that is hard , and what i intend is in every mans will , to turne to a vertue what séemeth most ill . then be , &c. a wife that is good béeing beautifull , may perhapps raise suspition that shée 'l goe astray , o note the fond humours that most men possesse , they 'r neither content with the more nor the lesse , for if shée bée homely , then her hée will slight , to such neither faire , nor foule , can yéeld delight , if once hée le bée jealous the other hée scornes , there 's no greater plagues then imagined hornes . then be not , &c. a wife that 's indifferent betwéene good and ill , is shée that in huswifery shewes her good will , yet sometimes her voyce shée too much elevates , is that the occasion for which her hée hates : a soveraigne remedy for this disease , is to hold thy tongue let her say what shée please : iudge , is not this better then to fight and scratch , for silence will soonest a shrew over match . however i pray thee shun jealousie lad , for jealousie makes many good women bad . a wife that 's all bad if thy lucke bée to have , seeke not to reclaime her by making her slave , if shée bee as bad as ever frod one ground , not fighting nor jealousie will heale that wound : for marke when a river is stopt in its course , it oreflowes the bankes then the danger is worse . thy owne good example and patience with all , may her from her vices much rather recall . then be not , &c. the second part . to the same tune . a wife that is vertuous in every respect , who doth her vow'd duety at no time neglect , shaes not free from censure , for fooles their bolts shoote as oft at the head as they doe at the foote : a kisse , or a smile , or a iest , or a dance , familior discourse or an amarous glance , all these as her witnesse envy doth bring , the credit of innocent women to sting . but be not thou jealous i pray thee deare lad , for jealousie makes many good women bad . a wife that 's indifferent if curb'd over much , will grow worse & worse for their nature is such , the more thou with rigor dost séeke her to mend , the more they 'l persist and grow desperat i' th end , and thus from indifferency wanting good meanes , some wel meaning women turn impudiēt queans , if goodnesse by beating thou séek'st to infuse , for breaking her flesh thou all goodnesse dost bruse . then be not , &c. a wife at the worst ( as i told you before ) a drunkard , a swearer , a scold , théefe , or whore , by gentle perswasions , reclaimed may bee , my selfe by experience , but lately did sée : a man that with jealousie plagued had béene , when hée the last labour and trouble had séene , hée cast off his care , and referd all to 's wife , who soone left her vices and led a new life . then be not , &c. i also have knowne a wife handsome and neate , of whom her fond husband did take a conceate , that other men lov'd her because shée was faire , though on the contrary , to him shée did sweare : hée watcht her , hée ey'd her , hée noted her wayes , and once hée in 's drink , he a scandall would raise , this usage irregular set her on fier , & so from thence foreward shée provd him no lyer , then be not , &c. consider each circumstance with good regard , how oft cause lesse jelousie wins due reward , and likewise i wish thée to beare in thy brest , that patience and quietnes still is the best . for if she benought she 'le grow worse with restraint but patience may make of a harlot , a saint , if faire meanes prevaile not , thou 'lt ne're do 't by foule for méekenesse ( if any thing ) must win a soule then be not , &c. now lastly to both men and women i speake , from this foolish fancy their humors to breake , bée loving and tractable each unto other , and what is amisse let affection still smother : so shall man and wife in a simpathy swéet , at boorde , and at bed ( as they ought to doe ) méete , all fighting and scratching , and scolding shall cease , where jelousies harbord there can bée no peace . then be not thou jaelous i pray thee deare lad , for jealousie makes many good women

new ballad , wherein are contayned catholike questions to the protestant . the which ballad was put foorth without date or day , name of authour or printer , libell-like , scattered and sent abroad , to withdraw the simple from the fayth of christ , vnto the doctrine of antichrist the pope of rome . written by that protestant catholike , i. r. they that sit in the gate , speake against me , and the drunkards make songs vpon me , psal. . . dearely beloued , beleeue not euery spirit , but trye the spirits whether they be of god , or no : for many false prophets are gone out into the world , . iohn . . answere a foole according to his foolishnes , lest he be wise in his owne conceyte , prouerbs . . imprinted at london by simon stafford dwelling in hosier lane , neere smithfield . . to the indifferent readers , be they protestants , papists , or neyther , i. r. catholike protestant , professour of iesus christ , wisheth all wisdome , and all constancie to hold the trueth being found . good readers whosoeuer , you shall vnderstand , that not many moneths ago , i , together with others in a search , found some good english bookes , and some two or three english pamphlets of another stampe and nature , viz. a popish rosary of prayers , and diuers popish pictures in it , circled about with the forme of beads , ( as if all were the holyer , that comes within that compasse . ) we found there amōg other things also , a toy in rime , entituled , a proper new ballad , wherein are certaine catholike questions ( for so he termeth them ) to the protestant . these two , with an other note booke , written of like argument , i keep by me : and , onely of zeale to the trueth , and of loue to such simple soules , as might be snared with such petty bayts as this ballad is , i haue taken a little paynes in answering the same as well as i could , being a man of small skill to meddle in greater matters . a minister of the citie told me of the same ballad , before i met with this , and desired me to vndertake the answering of it , & he would helpe me to it , but could not : and therefore till now , by this good occasion , i thought no more of it ; although i am perswaded , there are many such pāphlets , together with other like romish wares , that are sent abroad among the common people , both protestants and papists in london and in the countrey , & that , by certaine women brokers and pedlers ( as of late in staffordshire there was ) who with baskets on their armes , shal come and offer you other wares vnder a colour , and so sell you these , where they see and know any likelyhood to vtter them . god graunt , that all magistrates may haue the spirit of nehemias & zorobabel , to take and finde them out , and finding them , not to let them go , but to punish them according as the quality of their offence deserueth : for vnder the habit of such , many young iesuites , and olde masse-priests range abroade , and drawe disciples after them . but because i feare i may exceed the bounds of an epistle , i will draw towards an end : onely i will shewe you how i haue dealt and ordered things in the answering hereof . first , i found it set to no certaine tune : but because it goeth most neere to the olde tune of labandalashot , therefore i haue made , that all may be sung to that tune , if neede be . secondly , the authour of this ballad , his skill seemed to me , to be as bad in poetry , as in diuinity , and therefore i am herein driuen sometimes to adde and abbreuiate the authours particular words , but i faile him not a iote for his owne sense and false meaning : let this bee considered of therefore of all men . thirdly , this ballad-monger hath deuided his worke into . principall parts or heads : and i obserue them in a sort , as shall appeare by the figures set before euery part . fourthly , whereas the conclusion of the ballad is long , i giue him leaue to goe it through , and then i followe him with mine answere all together , and so with my epilogue , and a short song of popery , made long agoe in scorne of papists foolery , i end , referring the readers for further satisfaction in this poynt , to m. crowly his booke , which is an answere in prose to the like questions , printed . yours in the lord , i. r. a pretty fine answere to a romish rime , entituled , a proper newe ballad , &c. to the tune of labandalashot . . the preface . the papists request . i pray thee , protestant , beare with me , to aske thee questions . or three : and if an answere thou cāst make , more of thy counsell i will take . if not , then must thou be content , that i remayne as i am bent , a romane catholike to bee , which was a protestant once with thee : but now am gone away from you , to those i take for christians true . the protestants answere . i am content , sir catholike , to heare & grant the thing you seek : but how should i assured be , that you will then be rulde by mee , when in your lawe it is set downe , you may break faith with king & clown ? well , yet if god and learned men will giue me leaue to vse my pen , i answere will ( though simply ) your questions drawne from popery . the papists complaynt . many and sundry sects appeare , now in the world both farre and neere : the protestant , the puritan , the caluanist , and zwinglian , the brownist , and the family of loue , and many mo that i can proue : besides the romane faith truely , which protestants call , papistry . all these are christs true church , they say : but now on which shall my soule stay ? the protestants answere . strange sects there are , and so will be , the church to trye in eche degree : but for the most of them you name , they are not worthy of that blame . the brownist , he is punished : the familists from vs are fled : if we were rid of papists too , both kingdomes should haue lesse to doo . and you that will of sects complayne , shew which by law we doe maintayne . the papists further complaynt . all these with rome in very deede , rehearse all articles of the creede : and euery one of them still saith , theirs is the true catholike faith . but how should i amongst all these , know truth from falshood , god to please ? this is the thing that still i seeke , to know the true church catholike , the fellowship and company of holy men in vnity . the protestants answere . if these with rome , and thousands moe , receyue our creede , and yet will goe so many hundred steppes a wry , as willet dooth in you descry , they are not worthy once to beare the name of christians any where . returne agayne therefore , i say , to christ , and to gods word alway . then shall you see , that unity is nothing without uerity . the church of rome catholike . the papist proceedes . i in your bibles thus haue read , the church must through the world be spred , for christ he his apostles sent : with power and with commandement , that to all nations they should goe , to preach and to baptize also . what company then tooke in hand , to winne and to conuert this land , with other countreyes farre and neere , but rome our mother-church most deere ? the protestants answere . our bibles teach all trueth in deede , which euery christian ought to reede : but papists thereto will say nay : because their deedes it dooth bewray . christ he the twelue apostles sent . but who gaue you commandement , to winne and gather any where , to binde by othe , to vowe , and sweare newe proselytes to popery , ' gaynst trueth , our prince & countrey ? the papist proceedes . saint paul in his epistle sayth , the romanes had the catholike fayth , and was so farre foorth renowmed , that none like it was published , throughout the world in places all , to be the trueth vniuersall . if yours in england had bene so , then to your churches i would goe . but till you proue your faith thus cleere , to yours i will no more come neere . the protestants answere . when rome returnes to christ againe , and be as once it did remaine : i meane , when paul to them did write , and when that fifteene popes in sight , did suffer for the gospell pure , england for truth you may be sure , will ioyne and ioy with rome againe , with italy , with fraunce and spaine : and antichrist shall be cast downe , which now doth weare y t triple crowne . the papist proceedes . we reade in prophet malachy , there shall be offrings farre and nye , a cleane oblation sacrifice , from place where now the sun doth rise , vnto the setting of the same . o what is that , i pray thee name ? if this be not the holy masse , i le be a protestant as i was : wherefore resolue me speedily , if thou wilt haue my company . the protestants answere . saint ierome and tertullian , or any other learned man , writing on this short prophecy , preached by prophet malachy , shall iudge in this for vs and you , who giues best sence and meaning true . we say it speakes of pure prayer , not of your masse , but christs supper . and you to make poore soules your asse , doe say , it 's meant of popish masse . the papist proceedes . in th'eighteenth psalme there it is found , that the world shall heare their sound , that is to say , shall vnderstand , in euery nation , realme , and land , that rome , and eke the fayth of rome , is vniuersall without doome . go where you will the world throughout , and rome is famous without doubt . and if this marke you doe not want , then presently i will recant . the protestants answere . the psalme for number you mistooke , eighteene for nineteene in your booke : the sense thereof first literall : is meant of creatures great and small . and to the romanes for the sound , is meant gods word , which doth aboūd : and not for popish doctrine taught , of which , in that age , no man thought . therefore your sound , glory , and fame , is now nought else but open shame . the church of romes continuance . the papist proceedes . this is another marke most sure , the fayth of christ must still endure : according as our sauiour sayd , when for saint peter once he prayd . simon , thy faith shall neuer fayle : the gates of hell shall not preuayle : the holy ghost your comforter , he shall remayne with you euer : and my selfe , your surest friend , will be with you to the worlds end . the protestants answere . vve graunt , the trueth must stil endure : but of this one thing let 's be sure : and that is , whether we , or you , doe hold the fayth of christ most true . * your doctrine is a doung-hill heape of mans traditions , which did creepe into the church , by some and some , vntil you had spoyled christs kingdome . christs words to peter you abuse : therefore your sense we doe refuse . the papist proceedes . saint paul doeth playnly write and say , there shall be in the church alway , apostles , prophets , and such like , that for the flocke of christ shall seeke , and by their preaching bring them home , of iewes & gentiles , where they roame . our church haue these , and many moe , which labour thus , and bide much woe . if this be false , and not at rome , then will i be conuerted soone . the protestants answere . saint paul in places three doeth showe , what men into the world should goe : and after those , of pastours all , that should bring men frō sathans thrall , in setled congregation still , there to be taught gods word and will. but as for munks , for priests , for fryers , for iesuites , and common lyers , they haue no warrant in gods word , although they reigne with fire & sword . the church visible . the papist proceedes . this is another marke most cleare , the church of god must still appeare ; and as a city on a hill , so must we see it flourish still ; and as a candle shining bright , so must gods church appeare in sight . our sauiour saith , if one offend , and will not by rebukes amend , esteeme him as a wicked man , a heathen or a publican . the protestants answere . how long will papists blinded be , in that which euery eye may see ? the church is called militant , and troubles it doth neuer want : so that sometimes as sunne and moone , it is eclip'st and hath her doome , in mans conceit to shine no more : but god againe doth her restore , to shine and shew her beautie bright , to teach and censure men aright . of succession . the papist proceedes . and is not that the church most true , wherein succeeded still in viewe , of bishops some two hundred three , as thou in histories mayest see ? saint peter first , and then the rest , which haue the people taught and blest ? shew me this marke once amongst you , and i will say your faith is true . if not , it is the church of rome , that i will cleaue vnto for doome . the protestants answere . for trueth , this your succession came from false prophets euery one , from balaams time vnto this day , with high priests and such like alway , and holy scripture doth describe the pope with his condemned pride : and though you say he doth excell , yet he and you may burne in hell . iohn in the reuelation , writes of romes desolation . of their vnity . the papist proceedes . there is another marke also , by which the true church you may know , and that indeede is vnitie , set out in many a similie by christ our sauiour , who foretold , of one shepheard , and one sheepefold , one spowse , one husband her to loue , one darling deare , and one fayre doue : one fayth , one baptisme is heere , and no dissention dooth appeare . the protestants answere . the name of church , i know , you seeke , though euery way you be vnlike . by these your markes eche filth may proue , themselues to be christs church , & doue . eche sinne is spred vniuersall , it 's visible to great and small : idolaters haue unity , and hypocrites antiquity : but trueth , which euery one should bring , they and you want in euery thing . their holinesse . the papist proceedes . you protestants doe daily read , in nicen and apostles creed , the church of god must holy bee , which we performe in each degree : most holy men and sacrifice , sweet seruice and fine ceremonies : seuen sacraments we haue alwaies , double and treble holy daies : virgins and saints , martyrs and all , be ours , and you haue none at all . the protestants answere . gods church , we know , is sanctifide , by christ his spirit , who is their guide , and holy dueties still they doe , on sabboth daies and other too . but your vaine seruice we detest , your may-game pastimes and the rest : your popish saints and votaries all , your traytrous martyrs great & small . nothing in you but holynesse , when none commit more wickednesse . a speach touching heretikes , schismatikes , &c. the papist proceedes , and concludes with this speach . ovr sauiour warnes vs to haue care , and of false prophets to beware , which in his name to vs will come , not sent by him , and yet they runne : strong theeues , not entring in aright by christ the dore , but in the night they breake in at the windowe hie , and deale that none may them espie : their comming is not to doe good , but like to wolues they thirst for blood . yet in sheepes clothing these doe goe , because gods people should not knowe , but that they are his pastors sure , which christ hath sēt with doctrine pure , to teach , to preach , to set and sowe , that christ in th' end might reap & mow : but when their seeds are somewhat sprung , they proue but tares and darnell young , thistles and thornes so are they found , choking and cumbering the ground . the papist holds on his tale . these liue e'ne as they list truly , their god , we see , is their belly : like dogges and foxes so they range , sects they deuise , and schismes strange , heaping vpon themselues damnation , for liuing after such a fashion . these notes and marks we find in you , more then in any turke or iew , who doe deny the name of christ , and doe not make them any priest. you say , that your faith did appeare , to be the truth sixe hundred yeare : but tell me then , sir , if you can , when popery at first began ? where were the seruants of the lord ? durst none of them then speake a word ? where were the feeders of the sheep ? were they all dead , or fast asleepe ? did none of them defend the trueth , but was controld in age and youth ? did now s. peters strong faith fayle ? and did the gates of hell preuayle ? or did the salt his sauour lose ? did christ some other spouse then choose ? or was truths piller ouerthrowne ? by which all truth was to be knowne ? if this were so , christs word so playne , and promises must be but vaine : which was , that heauen and earth should quaile , before his word one iote should faile . where haue you byn so long a time ? and vnto whom did your light shine ? where did your chiefest pastor sit ? who kept your keies , your helme & ship ? shew vs some churches you haue built , as we can shew where you haue spilt . what , were all damn'd eternally , that were not of your company ? how might a man haue found you out , to heare and helpe in things of doubt ? when luther , like a lying fryer , one , whom the diuell did inspire , did breake his vowe to wed a nun , euen then your heresie begun , and fauoured was in saxony , by dukes that loued liberty : and in king edwards time agayne , it gan to grow and spread amayne ▪ a thousand yeeres you write and say , that papistry did beare the sway . and during all that time and space , we say , you durst not shew your face . who kept the holy scriptures then , from hands of vilde and wicked men ? who had authority to ordaine bishops , doctors , and priests againe ? for he that came in without order , comes as a theefe to steale and murder : he is a wolfe , and not a priest , an enemy , no friend to christ. and one thing more dooth make me muse , that our priests you did not refuse , to say your seruice , and to sing a psalme of dauid . note that thing . this man a benefice might haue , if he at any time did craue . like ieroboam , so dealt yee , and tooke all sorts of eche degree . a worthy mingle-mangle then was made of you , for lacke of men . how may your church make any priest , if she be not the church of christ ? answere these questions , if you can , and i will be a protestan . but while your answere you deuise , i counsell all men that are wise , to hold the fayth mayntayned heere , the space of fifteene hundred yeere , or of one thousand at the least : frō which who turnes , shal proue a beast . saint austin our apostle was , who came from rome , & here said masse : he first arriued here in kent , and so to other places went : his faith came from pope gregory ; which fayth was kept successiuely , by many bishops , as we read , from peters time , who was their head , who learn'd his fayth of christ , i say : to whom be prayse nowe and alway . amen . amend , papists , amend . the protestants answere to the papists large conclusion . by this time you are out of breath . such periods may breede your death : but i will set out with such pace , as shall , and may , i hope , winne grace with god , with christ , and all good men , that euer wrote with inke and pen : the goale i trust to winne at last , and when i haue it , hold it fast , unto the honour of his name , that gaue me power to winne the same . the most of these i might reuert vpon your selues , which can peruert both word and history of times , to cloke your lewd and open crimes . but some thing briefly i will say , for that which you cast in our way , as stumbling blocks for euery one , to stumble at , where you make mone . consider well , that you therefore , are euen those men whom ye abhore . you are false prophets , teaching lies , you weare sheepes clothing , to disguise : you runne and range , not being sent , for which you ought still to repent . you are those theeues that enter in to christ his church , and neuer lyn . till you haue stor'd your selues with good , & fild your selues , like wolues , with blood : you enter not by christ the doore , but by the pope , that romish whoore . you blind mēs eies with outward showes , and say that you are no mans foes : you fast from flesh , to eat good fish , with fruits and many a costly dish : you pray on beades , and prey on men , you doe deuoure maids and women : you seldome preach , and that but lies , the pope and popelings to suffice : your doctrine comes frō the popes schoole , where many a wise man proues a foole . your doctrine comes not from gods booke , but you on lyes and legends looke : on festiuals , and liues of saints , which you haue made with your owne paints : gods word you count of little force , and to the same haue small remorse : your people from it you disswade , because that like two-edged blade , it doth deuide , and eke descry , mans sinne and popish trechery . your doctrine is but darnell sure , vnto this graine , gods word so pure . what is the chaffe vnto the wheat ? what is mans wit to wisdome great ? your gold is brasse , your siluer tinne , your teaching drosse , your deeds but sinne . remember what you taught and did , before that your bad tricks were spi'd : remember persons , time and place , and so repent , and call for grace . whereas you charge our liues for bad , we grieue thereat , we are not glad : if you did rule , it would be so , and ten times worse , full well i knowe . this realme is very populous , and you like night-birds hinder vs. christ said , you know , that in each land , sinne it would get the vpper hand . let all men striue therefore , say i , against all sinne and popery . you liue at ease , and as you will , like epicures your selues you fill , your belly is your god in deed , your puffed cheekes your hands doe feede . the best of all things in eche land , by flights you got into your hand . thus did you fast , thus did you prey on men and women night and day . a thousand waies your gaines came in , through antichrist that man of sinne . you would no wiues , for that was ill , but whoores and harlots at your will : no woman must come in your sight , vnless it were some nun by night . your common stewes you still maintaine : for why ? they bring the pope much gaine . when monasteries brake vp here , then did your filthynesse appeare : thousands of infants heads were found in ponds and priuies , which you drownd . like dogges and foxes therefore , you did lead your liues ; it is your due : like swine , like wolues , like sathans brood , that neuer did gods people good : like hypocrites in euery place , you liued , and doe without gods grace : you make poore people to beleeue , that you can all their sinnes forgiue . it were too long to make relation , how you and yours deserue damnation . but where you say , that we doe write of this our faith , which you despite , that it was found , and did appeare , to be the trueth sixe hundred yeare : we say , that from christ his assension , for our fayth was no such contention , as papists make now at this day , nor in that space of yeeres we say : but this our faith it euer stood , euen since that abel lost his blood . on gods sweet word we doe depend : for it shall iudge vs in the end ; it is our wisdome and our ioy , and mans traditions are a toy . though some things hard doe there appeare , the rest we read in all the yeare : and find , that it sufficient is , to guide all men to heauenly blisse . what would you more , but that you stand , for popish trash in euery land ? now , where you aske of popery , when it began , and to sit hie ? i answere will to your demand , both readily and out of hand . it bred in the apostles time , and so increaste by many a signe : great strife then grew three hundred yeres , as in church stories it appeares , for many things , but chiefly one , who should be supreme head alone . all bishops wrote against this thing : no emperour would euer bring any one bishop to the same , till wicked phocas time , by name : but he a wicked murtherer , vnto this act was furtherer , that none might checke him for that deede , of killing father , mother , and seede . thus did proud bishop boniface , third of that name , set in highest place . and now the other bishops three , that made vp foure of one degree , were first made vassall vnto rome , from whence all popish trash doth come . when boniface was thus aloft , he playd his part , and wonders wrought : and so did all of rome beside , vntill they grew to their full pride ; and were of late vnhorst agayne . by christian kings that them disdayne . the true church was eclipsed then , and had in scorne of carnall men : the prophecies fulfilled were , of daniel , who prayd in feare : and those in reuelation , which god did giue vnto s. iohn : a thousand yeeres this held out so , that christs true flock you could not know , but by their persecution sharpe , which they endur'd with willing heart . yet still christ and his gospell stood , in persecution and in blood . the popes left off to preach and teach , and after wordly things to reach . in time they grew so fierce and fell , that no good man with them could dwell . they put down kings and princes hie , abusing them to slauery ; and what they said or did , was lawe : thus euery one was kept in awe . in all your popes , true faith did faile , and hell it selfe did much preuaile : the salt his sauor lost in them : christ was in trueth reiected then : yea , all his death and glorious passion , was turn'd into another fashion : each pope a new toy did deuise , to blind and bleare the peoples eyes : fooles , apes , and asses still they made , of gods poore people , by this trade . the second question that you make , i answere will for each mans sake , that cannot answere readily , your arguments and sophistry . where was our church , you say , that time ? where did the beauty of it shine ? where did our chiefest pastour sit ? who kept our keyes ? who rulde our ship ? you did vs shew you churches built , as you can shew those we haue spilt . to these in order as they lye , i will in few words now reply : where is the sun , the moone the stars , when clouds & darknes make them wars ? doe they not shine still where they be , vnder those clowdes ? euen so did we . our chiefest pastor he is christ , and he sits in the heauens highest : he hath the keyes and guides our ship , and laughs to scorne our little wit. for churches , first we answere you , by churches of another hiewe . how many churches hath christ built , and you the blood of them haue spilt ? of other churches that you speake , god in his iudgement doth them breake , euen as he did hierusalem , for killing of his prophets then : and as he did the hill alters , and groues of all idolaters . you aske what are become alway , of all that dyed to this day ? we are no iudges in this case , we leaue them to the throne of grace . idolaters may aske you so , of those that haue dyed long agoe . what answere can you make therein , but this , that god , for all their sinne , may iustly damne them , if he will , or saue , where he likes not to kill ? when abram was with cera he , his father deare , as children be , and god cald abraham away , what , should he not gods call obay ? or should he answere as you doe , as my friends did , i will doe too ? but you will say you be none such , when yet you vse like things too much : try by the scriptures well , and see , who comes neer'st idoles , you or we . you aske how you might find vs out , to answere things that were in doubt ? i say , that euen as wolues by kinde , the sheepe and lambes in field can finde ; so you did find vs to our cost , or else how were our liues so lost ? first , in the persecutions ten , and in the rest succeeding them . in england , scotland , & in fraunce , and euery place you taught that daunce . but when the day of count shall come , that you shall answere all and some , when christ the master of the sheepe , shall reckon vs , as it is meet : then from the blood of abelstime , vnto the last of such like crime , you and the rest shall answere all , vnto your sorrow , griefe and thrall : unlesse you doe repent with speed , your count will fearefull be indeed . till luthers time , you say that we heard not of christ : but you shall see , that we , not you , haue heard of him , as onely pardoner of our sinne . thrise happy luther and the rest , ( except some faults which we detest ) and ten times happy euery land , that hath receiued with strong hand , the gospell pure of christ on hie , and haue put downe all popery . you aske , who kept all scripture then ? who made our priests , & all church-men ? we answere , that our god , of loue , did saue and keepe it from aboue , as in the time of ieremy , when it was burnt by iehudy . and as the arke deliuered was , from philistims , as came to passe . and finally , as god can make all creatures serue his church and quake . now for our churchmens ordination , we know the scriptures good relation : and so were made our bishops all , our ministers both great and small . salomon made sadock he , priest in abiathars roome to be : so in the stead of popish priests , our queene sent ministers for christ : and though a time some were but weake , yet now a number can well speake . and where you say , you maruell , how we did receyue such , as did vow themselues your priests of popish order , to serue with vs in any border ? my answere is , that you might see , what men of mercy protestants be , which would receiue all to saluation , and not condemne them in your fashion . you did deuise , you know , to keepe all men from feeding of our sheepe . an ordination may be good , though some men , guilty of soules blood , unworthy be in church to serue , for punishment that they deserue . some thing tooke ill in hand also , at first , may yet in time , we know , proue good againe , and so may this : the church-mens calling is for blisse . if yours not so , or be not right , amend your fault , beare vs no spight . and to conclude , you bragge , and say , that austin first did here bewray the trueth of christ : but it 's not so , true histories doe name vs moe : but graunt , that hee first taught this land : were all things good came from his hand ? no , no , he taught much popery , but not so much as now doth fly : simon zelotes and saint paul , are said to teach vs first of all . till you these things doe well disproue , i wish all men in tender loue , to note what i haue sayd herein , to turne to god , and leaue their sinne . to trust no popish iesuite , nor yet in masse-priests to delight : for certainely their hierarchy , their kingdome and their policy , shall , will , and must , of force fall downe : for christ abhorres the triple crowne

yet these bookes of theirs , are most blasphemous and wicked , yea , bold and presumptuous , as is d. loarts booke and others , in leauing out the second commaundement , and making two of the last , to fill vp the number of ten . but more of this , at some other time , and vpon some further occasion , when i shall haue a little leysure to propoūd the papists some true catholike questions . and so

general aim of eebo-tcp is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic english-language title published between and available in eebo. eebo-tcp aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the text encoding initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). the eebo-tcp project was divided into two phases. the , texts created during phase of the project have been released into the public domain as of january . anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. users should be aware of the process of creating the tcp texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. text selection was based on the new cambridge bibliography of english literature (ncbel). if an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in ncbel, then their works are eligible for inclusion. selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. in general, first editions of a works in english were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably latin and welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in oxford and michigan. % (or pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet qa standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. after proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of instances per text. any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of tcp data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a tcp editor. the texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level of the tei in libraries guidelines. copies of the texts have been issued variously as sgml (tcp schema; ascii text with mnemonic sdata character

thus betwixt them laid , the sussex men grew sore afraid , ●od of their match they did repent , desiring that they might recant , the kentish men did say , that they should pay , ten pounds or stand the match and day , then so they did agrée , and spent it merrily , but wood mist of their company . a gentleman by chance did come , where friends of his was in the roome and they were all at diner

and teare with wood for money for his fare and he said he was willing , to pay her downe a shilling he ●●tted her for former dealing . two citizens from london went , to see this wood was their intent , and being come to harrisom , they sent for him into the roome , for all the victuals they did call and pay , that was within the house that day , and wished goodman wood , to fall 〈◊〉 his food i

i wasted my money like a fool both in wine and strong beer : with my companions day and night i 'de both drink , sing , and roar , but now bad company i 'le slight , and keep my money in store . in the morning sometimes to an alehouse i 'de hye , and tarry there all day , perhaps a crown or an angel i at one recconing would pay : my pocket of money i 'de empty make , e're that i would give ore , but now such actions i 'le forsake , and keep my money in store . my hostess she would smile in my face when i did merrily call , for why , she knew i would not be base , but freely pay for all : before the flaggon was quite out she 'd be ready to fill more , but now i mean to look about , and keep my money in store . the second part , to the same tune . sometimes she in a merry vein would sit upon my knee , and give me kisses one or twain , and all to sweeten me , she 'd vow i was welcome indeed , and should be evermore , but now i mean for to take heed , and keep my money in store . thus i frequented the ale bench so long as my money would hold ; whilst my wife & children at home did pinch with hunger and with cold ; so i had my guts full of ale and beer , i look after nothing more , but now i mean to have a care , and keep my money in store , my wife would often me perswade and mildly to me say , good loving husband follow your trade , and go not so astray : but with soule words i ▪ de her abuse , and call her bitch and whore , but now her counsel i will chuse , and keep my money in store . at last through my lewd wicked vice i had consumed all , by drunkenness , with cards and dice my stock it was brought small : by keeping of bad company i was grown mean and poor , but now i 'le leave bad husbandry , and keep my money in store . to my hostess one time i did repair , and desired one courtesie , to trust me for half a dozen of béer , but she did me deny : she told me she had made a vow to draw no drink on score , but i am fully resolved now to keep my money in store . qd. she , the mault-man his money must have also i must pay excise , if i should trust every drunken knave where will my money rise ? but if you have think you may have drink , if you 've none turn out of door , but now from the alehouse i will shrink , and keep my money in store . thus all good fellows you may see what 't is to be in want , a man shall not regarded be if money is with him scant : but if money you have , they 'l tend you brave , if you 've none they will give o're , then he careful your money for to save , and lay it up in store . by experience 't is plainly seen in england far and nigh , those that rich wealthy men has been , at last come to poverty by spending too much in wine and beer there is many doth grow poor , then good fellows have a special care , to keep your money in store . if all bad husbands were of my mind in country and in town , the ale-wives a new trade should find , to pull their fat-sides down : they shou'd work hard , both spin and card , we would keep them so poor , and we wou'd be careful our money to save , and lay it up in store . now all you married men that are , and batchelours so gay , of the main chance pray have a care , lest you fall in decay : be sure you time do highly prize 't wil not stay for rich nor poor , good fellows all i you advise to keep your money in store , printed for p. brooksby at the golden ball in west-smithfield . an excellent new medley, which you may admire at (without offence) for euery line speakes a contrary sences to the tune of, tarletons medley. m. p.

i met him in dublin a buying the frize , and gud i will swear , 't is the same that he bought : he 's a better shaint than ever holland , or , walsh , or scotland , can breed , and by my showlwasion he was my relation , and had for stout tegue great kindness indeed . cho. lero , lero , lero , lero , lilly burlero bullen a-la , by my showlwasion he was my relation , chreesht save thy sweet face st. patrick agra . vi. each gave his mind , but neither agreed , the welsh man grows hot , and the irish man huffs ;

for dai╌ly at table she 'd pout and she 'd squabble , and this still was all i got , when e'er i ask'd why , she 'd cry pish fye , for gold nor apparel i never did quarrel , but on╌ly you starve my cat. ii. a pretty young kitty , she had that could purr ; 't was gamesome and handsome , and had a rare furr ; and straight up i took it , and offer'd to stroke it , in hopes i should make it kind ; but lowting and powting , it still was to me , tho' nature , the creature , design'd should be free . i play'd with its whiskers and would have had discourse , but ah ! it was dumb and blind : when cloris unquiet , who knew well its diet , and found that i wanted that , cry'd pray , run , fetch iohn , he 's the man that can , when it does need it , best know how to feed it , or gad you will starve my cat. iii. as fleet as my feet could convey me i sped ; to iohnny who many times pussey had fed . i told him my errand , he wanted no warrant , but hasted to shew his skill : he took it to stroak it , and close in his lap he laid it to feed it , and gave it some pap ; and with such a passion it took the collation , its belly began to fill , and now within door is , so merry my cloris , she laughs and grows wonderous fat , and i run for iohn , who 's the man that can , tho' i 'm at distance , give present assistance , to please her , and feed her cat. the loyal scot : or , the king ' s new health . a new song . the words made to a pretty scotch tune . now the ground is hard froze , and cawd winter is come , and our master great wil╌ly from holland's got home . now the parliament leards are sat down to command , i 'se gang o'er the tweed in╌to hampton court . a new song . the words made by mr. d'urfey , to a pretty new tune made by a person of quality . where divine glo╌ri╌a╌na , her palace late rear'd ;

original in the harvard university library. created by converting tcp files to tei p using tcp tei.xsl, tei @ oxford. re-processed by university of nebraska-lincoln and northwestern, with changes to

partnership between the universities of michigan and oxford and the publisher proquest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by proquest via their early english books online (eebo) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). the general aim of eebo-tcp is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic english-language title published between and available in eebo. eebo-tcp aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the text encoding initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). the eebo-tcp project was divided into two phases. the , texts created during phase of the project have been released into the public domain as of january . anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. users should be aware of the process of creating the tcp texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. text selection was based on the new cambridge bibliography of english literature (ncbel). if an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in ncbel, then their works are eligible for inclusion. selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. in general, first editions of a works in english were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably latin and welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in oxford and michigan. % (or pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet qa standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. after proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of instances per text. any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of tcp data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a tcp editor. the texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level of the tei in libraries guidelines. copies of the texts have been issued variously as sgml (tcp schema; ascii text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable xml (tcp schema; characters represented either as utf- unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless xml (tei p , characters represented either as utf- unicode or tei g elements). keying and markup guidelines are available at the text creation partnership web site . eng page,

fortune my foe . unhappy she , whom fortune hath forlorn , despis'd of grace , that proffered grace did scorn , my lawless love , hath luckless wrought my woe , my discontent , content did overthrow . my loathed life too late i do lament , my woful deeds in heart i do repent : a wife i was that wilful went awry , and for that fault am here prepar'd to dye . in bloomy years my fathers greedy mind , against my will a match for me did find : great wealth there was , yea , gold and silver store , but yet my heart had chosen one before . mine eyes , dislikt my fathers liking quite , my heart did loath my parents fond delight : my greedy mind , and fancy told to me , that with his age my youth could not agree . on knees i crav'd they would not me constrain , with tears i cry'd their purpose to restrain , with fighs and sobs i did them often move , i might not wed whereas i could not love . but all in vain my speeches still i spent , my mothers will my wishes did prevent , though wealthy page possest my outward part , george strangwidge still was lodged in my heart . i wedded was and wrapped all in woe , great discontent within my heart did grow : i loath'd to live , yet liv'd in deadly strife , because perforce i was made pages wife . my chosen eyes could not his sight abide , my tender youth did loath his aged side , scant could i tast the meat whereon i fed , my legs did loath to lodge within his bed . cause knew i none , i should despise him so , that such disdain within my heart did grow , save only this , that fancy did me move , and told me still george strangwide was my love . but here began my downfal and decay , in mind i mus'd to make him strait away , i that became his discontented wife , contented was he should be rid of life . methinks the heavens crys vengeance for my fact , methinks the world condemns my monstrous act : methinks within , my conscience tells me true , that for that deed , hell fire is my due . my pensive soul doth sorrow for my sin , for which offence my soul doth bleed within : but mercy lord , for mercy still i cry , save thou my soul , and let my body dye . well could i wish that page enjoy'd his life , so that he had some other to his wife : but never could i wish of low or high , a longer life then see sweet strangwidge die , o woe is me that had no greater grace , to stay till he had run out natures race ; my deed i rue , but more i do repent , that to the same my stranwidge gave consent . you parents fond , that greedy minded be , and seek to graft upon the golden tree , consider well , and rightful judges be , and give your doom , 'twixt parents , love , and me , i was their child , and bound for to obey , yet not to love where i no love could lay : i married was in muck and endlesse strife , but faith before had made me strangwidge wife . o wretched world whom cankered rust doth blind , and cursed men who bear a greedy mind : and haplesse i , whom parents did force so , to end my days in sorrow , shame , and woe . you devonshire dames , & courteous cornwal kts. that are here come to visit woful wights , regard my grief , and mark my woful end , but to your children be a better friend . and thou my dear , which for my fault must die , be not afraid the sting of death to try : like as we liv'd and lov'd together true , so both at once let 's bid the world adieu . ulalia thy friend doth take her last farewel , whose soul with thine in heaven doth ever dwel : sweet saviour christ do thou my soul receive , the world i do with all my heart forgive . and parents now whose greedy minds do show , your hearts desire and inward heavy woe , mourn you no more , for now my heart doth tell , e're day be done my soul shall be full well . and plimouth proud i bid thee now farewel , take heed you wives , let not your hands rebel , and farewel life wherein such sorrow shows , and welcome death that doth my corps inclose . and now sweet lord forgive me my misdeeds , repentance crys for soul that inward bleeds , my soul and body i commend to thee , that with thy blood from death redeemed me . lord blesse our king with long and happy life , and send true peace betwixt each man and wife , and give all parents wisdom to fore-see , the match is mar'd where minds do not agree . the lamentation of george strangwidge , who for the consenting to the death of mr. page of plimouth , suffered death at barnstable . the man that sighs and sorrows for his sin , the corps which care and woe hath wrapped in , in doleful sort records her swanlike song , that waits for death and loaths to live so long . o glansfield cause of my committed crime , so wed in wealth , as birds in bush of lime : what cause hadst thou to bear such wicked spight , against my love and eke my hearts delight ? i would to god thy wisdom had béen more , or that i had not entred in thy door , or that thou hadst a kinder father been vnto thy child , whose yeare are but green . the match unmeet which thou for me didst make , when aged page thy daughter home did take , well mayst thou rue with tears that cannot dry , which is the cause that four of us must die . ulalia more brighter then the summers sun , whose beauty hath for ever my love won , my soul more sobs to think of thy disgrace , then to behold my own untimely race . the deed late done in heart i do repent , but that i lov'd i cannot yet relent : thy seemly sight was ever sweet to me , vvould god my death could thy excuser be . it was for me alas , thou didst the same , on me by right they ought to lay the blame : my worthlesse love hath brought thy life in scorn , and woe is me that ever i was born . farewel my love , whose royal heart was seen , i would thou hadst not half so constant been : farewel my love , the pride of plimouth town , farewel the flower , whose beauty is cut down . for twenty years great was the cost i know , thy unkind father did on thee bestow : yet afterwards so sower did fortune lower , he lost his joy and child within an hour . my wrong and woe to god i do commit , vvho was the cause of matching them unfit , and yet my guilt i cannot so excuse vve gave consent his life for to abuse . vvretch that i am , that my consent did give , had i deny'd ulalia still should live : blind fancy said , do not this suit deny , live thou in blisse , or else in sorrow die . o lord forgive this cruel deed of mine , vpon my soul let beams of mercy shine : in justice lord do thou no vengeance take , forgive us both , for jesus christ his sake . the complaint of mis. page for causing her husband to be murthered , for the love of strangwidge , who were executed together . if ever woe did touch a womans heart , or grief did gall for sin the outward part , my conscience then , and heavy heart within , can witnesse well the sorrow for my sin . when years were young my father forc'd me wed , against my will where fancy was not fed : i was content their pleasure to obey , although my heart was linkt another way . great were the gifts they proffered in my sight , with wealth they thought to win me to delight , but gold and gifts could not my mind remove , for i was link'd whereas i could not love . methought his sight was loathsom to my eye , my heart did grudge against him inwardly : this discontent did cause my deadly strife , and with this wealth did cause a grievous life . my constant love was on young strangwidge set , and woe to him that did our welfare let : his love so deep a root in me did make , i would have gone a begging for his sake . vvronged he was through fond desire of gain

contributors. eebo-tcp is a partnership between the universities of michigan and oxford and the publisher proquest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by proquest via their early english books online (eebo) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). the general aim of eebo-tcp is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic english-language title published between and available in eebo. eebo-tcp aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the text encoding initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). the eebo-tcp project was divided into two phases. the , texts created during phase of the project have been released into the public domain as of january . anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. users should be aware of the process of creating the tcp texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. text selection was based on the new cambridge bibliography of english literature (ncbel). if an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in ncbel, then their works are eligible for inclusion. selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. in general, first editions of a works in english were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably latin and welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in oxford and michigan. % (or pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet qa standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. after proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of instances per text. any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of tcp data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a tcp editor. the texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level of the tei in libraries guidelines. copies of the texts have been issued variously as sgml (tcp schema; ascii text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable xml (tcp schema; characters represented either as utf- unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless xml (tei p , characters represented either as utf- unicode or tei g elements). keying and markup guidelines are available at the text creation partnership web site . eng

and to escape this bloody day , beyond-sea many fled away . amongst the rest that sought release , and for their faith in danger stood , lady elizabeth was chief , king henries daughter of royal blood ; which in the tower did prisoner lye , looking each day when she should dye . the dutchess of suffolk séeing this , whose life like wise the tyrant sought : who in the hopes of heavenly bliss , within gods word her comfort wrought : for fear of death was faint to fly , and leave her house most secretly . that for the love of god alone , her land and goods she left behind , séeking still for that precious stone , the word and truth so rare to find : she with her nurse , husband , and child , in poor array their sighs beguil'd . thus through london they passed along each one did take a several stréet , thus all along escaping wrong , at billinsgate they all did méet , like people poor in gravesend-barge , they simply went with all their charge . and all along from gravesend-town , with journeys short on foot they went , vnto the sea-coast came they down , to pass the seas was their intent : and god provided so that day , that they took ship and sayld away . and with a prosperous gale of wind , in flanders they did safe arrive , this was to their great ease of mind , and from their heavy hearts much wo did drive , and so with thanks to god on high , they took their way to germany . thus as they travel'd still disguis'd , upon the high-way suddenly , by cruel thieves they were surpriz'd , assayling their small company : and all their treasures and their store , they took away and beat them sore . the nurse in midst of their fight , laid down the child upon the ground , she ran away out of their sight , and never after that was found : then did the dutches make great moan , with her good husband all alone . the thieves had there their horses kill'd , and all their money quite had took , the pretty baby almost spoil'd , was by the nurse like wise forsook : and they far from their friends did stand and succourless in a strange land. the sky likewise began to scowl , it haild and raind in pitious sort , the way was long and wondrous foul , then may i now full well report , their grief and sorrow was not small , when this unhappy chance did fall . sometimes the dutches bore the child , as wet as ever she could be , and when the lady kind and mild was weary , then the child bore he : and thus they one another eas'd , and with their fortunes well was pleas'd . and after many a weary step , all wet-shod both in dirt and mire , after much grief their hearts yet leaps , for labour doth some rest require : a town before them they did sée , but lodged there they could not be . from house to house then they did go , séeking that night where they might lye , but want of money was their wo , and still their babe with cold did cry ;

that fire and coals he got with spéed : she sat down by the fire side to dress her daughter that had néed : and whilst she drest it in her lap , her husband made the infant pap . anon the sexston thither came , and finding them there by the fire , the drunken knave , all void of shame , to drive them out was his desire : and spurn'd forth the noble dame , her husbands wrath she did inflame . and all in fury as he stood , he wrung the church-keys out of his hand and struck him so that all the blood , his head ran down as he did stand : wherefore the sexston presently , for help and aid aloud did cry . then came the officers in hast , and took the dutches and her child , and with her husband thus they past , like lambs beset with tygers wild ; and to the governor were brought , who understood them not in ought . then master bertue brave and bold , in latine made a gallant spéech , which all their misery did unfold , and their high favour did beseech ? with that a doctor sitting by , did know the dutches presently . and thereupon arising streight , with words abashed at this sight , vnto them all that there did wait , he thus brake forth in words aright : behold within your sight , quoth he , a prince of most high degree . with that the governour and all the rest , were all amazed the same to hear , who welcomed this new come guest , with reverence great and princely chear , and afterwards convey'd they were , vnto their friend , prince cassimere . a son she had in germany , pergrine bartue call'd by name , surnam'd the good lord willoughby , of courage great and worthy fame : her daughter young with her went , was afterwards countess of kent . for when queen mary was deceast the dutches home return'd again who was of sorrow quite releast , by queen llizabeths happy raign : whose godly life and piety , we may praise continually . london , printed for f. coles , t. vere , and j. wright . the geneva ballad. to the tune of . butler, samuel, - . approx. kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from -bit group-iv tiff page image. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ;

nay he can bellow , bray or bark . was ever sike a beuk-larn'd clerk , that speaks all lingua's of the ark. to draw in proselytes like bees , with pleasing twang he tones his prose , he gives his hand-kerchief a squeez , and draws john calvin through his nose . motive on motive he obtrudes , with slip-stocking similitudes , eight uses more , and so concludes . when monarchy began to bleed , and treason had a fine new name ; when thames was balderdash'd with tweed , and pulpits did like beacons flame ; when jeroboam's calves were rear'd , and laud was neither lov'd nor fear'd , this gospel-comet first appear'd . soon his unhallowed fingers strip'd his sov'reign liege of power and land , and having smote his master , slip'd his sword into his fellows hand . but he that wears his eyes may note , oftimes the butcher binds a goat , and leaves his boy to cut her throat . poor england felt his fury then out-weigh'd queen mary's many grains ;

broke moses's law with blest intent , murther'd and then he wip'd his mouth . oblivion alters not his case , nor clemency nor acts of grace can blanch an aethiopian's face . ripe for rebellion he begins to rally up the saints in swarms , he bauls aloud , sirs , leave your sins , but whispers , boys , stand to your arms , thus he 's grown insolently rude , thinking his gods can't be subdu'd , money , i mean , and multitude . magistrates he regards no more than st. george or the kings of colen ; vowing he 'l not conform before the old-wives wind their dead in woollen . he calls the bishop , grey-beard goff , and makes his power as mere a scoff , as dagon , when his hands were off . hark! how he opens with full cry ! halloo my hearts , beware of rome . cowards that are afraid to die thus make domestick broils at home . how quietly great charles might reign , would all these hot-spurs cross the main , and preach down popery in spain . the starry rule of heaven is fixt , there 's no dissension in the sky : and can there be a mean betwixt confusion and conformity ? a place divided never thrives : 't is bad where hornets dwell in hives , but worse where children play with knives . i would as soon turn back to mass , or change my phrase to thee and thou ;

and encoded texts based on the image sets published by proquest via their early english books online (eebo) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). the general aim of eebo-tcp is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic english-language title published between and available in eebo. eebo-tcp aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the text encoding initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). the eebo-tcp project was divided into two phases. the , texts created during phase of the project have been released into the public domain as of january . anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. users should be aware of the process of creating the tcp texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. text selection was based on the new cambridge bibliography of english literature (ncbel). if an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in ncbel, then their works are eligible for inclusion. selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. in general, first editions of a works in english were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably latin and welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in oxford and michigan. % (or pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet qa standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. after proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of instances per text. any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of tcp data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a tcp editor. the texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level of the tei in libraries guidelines. copies of the texts have been issued variously as sgml (tcp schema; ascii text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable xml

i meane grim death and he doth play his part , he stands prepar'd to strike you to the heart : how suddenly alas there 's none doth know , we all must yéeld to death ' this death we owe. our time is short we have not long to stay , we are not sure to live one night nor day , no , nor one houre or minut which is lesse , as god doth please our time is more or lesse : we are all mortall that live here below , and all must dye , that is the debt we owe. no strength nor valour can this death prevent , nor can faire beauty hinder his intent , both rich and poore must all prepare to dye , no king nor subject can proud death denye : death feares no friend nor doth he dread a foe , we all must dye that is the debt we owe. behold and sée all you that smile at death , you plainely sée how fickle is your breath , to day alive , to morrow clad in clay , therefore prepare , repent , wéep , fast and pray : our sinnes doe cause the lord to send us woe , we all must die , that is the debt we owe. thy brother's dead and buryed in the ground , prepare thy self , the mournfull bell doth sound , the grave stands open ready to receive , whom death doth strike , prepare to take thy leave . the day nor houre there is none that doth know , we all must die , that is the debt we owe. then why doe we so vainely spend our time , and unto wickednesse so much incline ? we live as though we never meant to die , spending our dayès most lewd and wantonly : all wickednesse doth daily in us grow , yet all must die , that is the debt we owe. in pride and lust we daily doe abound , what wicked sinnes but in us may be found ? wrath and revenge , with beastly gluttony , with drunkennesse deceit and flattery : all this appeares apparantly in show . yet all must die , that is the debt we owe. the hearts of men are growne as hard as stone , they 'l not give eare unto the griefe and mone , which their poore brethren make being opprest , take héed hard heart , for death will thee arrest : and then 't is doubtfull will begin thy woe , for all must die , that is the debt we owe. the second part , to the same tune . it is our sinnes doth cause gods wrath to fall , for we offend ev'n generally all , both rich and poore with yong and old also : let us repent , least god increase our woe . if we repent the lord will mercy show , we all must die , that is the debt we owe. some séeme to murmur and to make complaint , but they are those whose faith is weake and faint , they doe not truly feare nor serve the lord , nor doe they note his blessed holy word , upon repentance he will mercy show : but all must die , that is the debt we owe. gods mercy goes before his justice still , he 's alwayes sure to punish us for ill , he lets us scape in hope we may amend , thus he 's to us a father and a friend : but we to him ungracelesse children grow , yet all must die , that is the debt we owe. what can a father doe more for a sonne , then our good father and our god hath done ? he made us from the brittle earth and clay , and gave vs breath , yet him we disobay : o wretched creatures why should we doe so , we all must die , that is the debt we owe. over all creatures man a ruler is , hath not the lord done much in doing this ? o thinke on this and praise him for the same , give laud and glory to his holy name , all men that 's living ought for to doe so , we all must die , that is the debt we owe. but we forget our duties to our god , wherefore he now doth scourge us with his rod , his punishment we now are like to féele , he shoots his arrowes from his bow of stéele : which bow doth séeme to strike a deadly blow , we all must die , that is the debt we owe. what father alwayes will forgive his child , that disobays his will and is most vild ? correction doth befit a wicked son , 't is true we must confesse the same each one : now god correct's us by one blow , in hope thereby , that we will better grow . then let 's amend our lives most spéedily , we may live long or suddenly may die , let us prepare our selves for to repent , it cannot long ti●e ere our glasse be spent : our time is short , for certaine it is so , we all must die , that is the debt we owe. happy 's that man that is for death prepar'd , although he die heaven is his reward , he lives to die , and dies to live againe , in joyes eternally for to remaine : thrice blessed's he that lives and dieth so , we all must die , that is the debt we owe. then séeing all must die as that we must , while we live here , in god lets put our trust , then we shall die to live with him in joy , and happinesse which never will decay : let all true christians wish it may be so , for all must die , that is the debt we owe. looke not upon thy pleasures and thy pride , but for thy silly soule doe thou provide , minde not this world 't is vaine and transitory , minde heaven on high which is a place of glory unto which place lord grant that we may goe , when we doe die : amen , let all say so . r. finis . printed at

forlorne , despis'd of grace , that proffered grace did scorn : my lawlesse loue that lucklesse wrought my woe , my discontent content did ouerthrow . my loathed life too late i doe lament , my hatefull déed with heart i doe repent : a wife i was that wilfull went awry , and for that fault am here prepar'd to die . in blooming yeares my fathers gréedy mind , against my will a match for me did find : great wealth there was , yea gold and mony store , but yet my heart had chosen long before . my eye mislik't my fathers liking quite : my heart did loath my parents fond delight : my grieued mind and fancie told to me , that with his age my youth could not agrée . on knées i crau'd they would not me constraine , with teares i cride their purpose to refraine : with sighs and sobs i did them often moue , i might not wed whereas i could not loue . but all in vaine my spéeches still i spent , my fathers will my wishes did preuent : though wealthy page possest ny outward part , george strangwidge still was lodged in my heart . i wedded was , but wrapped in all woe . great discontents within my heart did grow , i loath'd to liue , yet liu'd in deadly strife , because perforce i was made pages wife . my chosen eyes could not his sight abide , my tender youth did scorne his aged side , scant could i taste the meat whereon he fed , my legs did loath to lodge within his bed . cause knew i none i should despise him so , that such disdaine within my mind did grow saue onely this that fancie did me meue , and told me still george strangwidge was my loue . but here began my downfall and decay , in mind i mus'd to make him straight away , i that became his discontonted wife , contented was he should be rid of life . me thinkes that heauen cries vengeance for my fact , me thinkes the world condemnes my monstrous act , me thinkes within , my conscience tells me true , that for that déed hell fier is my due . my pensiue life doth sorrow for my sinne , for this offence my soule doth bléed within , yet mercy lord for mercy doe i cry , saue thou my soule , and let my body dye . well could i wish that page enjoy'd his life , so that he had some other to his wife , but neuer would i wish of low or hie , a longer life , and sée swéet strangwidge die . ah woe is me that had no better grace , to stay till he had run out natures race : my déed i rue , but more i doe lament , that to the same my strangwidge gaue consent . you parents fond that gréedy-minded be , and séeke to graft vpon a golden tree : consider well , and rightfull iudges be , and giue your doome twixt parents loue and me . i was their child and bound for to obey , yet not to wed where i no ioue could lay : i married was to muck and endlesse strife , but faith before had made me strangwidge wife . ah wretched world which cancred rust doth blinde , and cursed men that beare a greedy minde : and haplesse i whom parents did force so , to end my dayes in sorrow , shame and woe . you devonshire dames , and courteous cornwall knights , that here are come to visit wofull wights : regard my griefe , and marke my wofull end , and to your children be a better friend . and thou my deare which for my fault must dye , be not afraid the fore of death to try , like as we liu'd and lou'd together true , so both at once let 's bid the world adue . ulalia thy friend doth take her last farewell , whose soule with thine in heauen shall euer dwell , swéet sauiour christ doe thou my soule receiue , the world i doe with all my heart forgiue . and parents now , whose mournfull minds doe show your hearts disease and inward heauy woe : mourne you no more , for hope my heart doth tell , ere day be done , that i shall be full well . and plimmouth proud , i bid thee eke farewell , take heed you wiues , let not your hands rebell : and farewell life wherein such sorrow showes , and welcome graue which must my corps inclose . and now sweet lord forgiue me my misdeeds , repentance cries for soule that inward bleeds : my soule and body i commend to thee , that with thy blood from death redeem'd it free . lord blesse our king with long and happy life , and send true loue betwixt each man and wife : and giue all parents wisedouie to foresee , the match is marr'd where minds doe not agree . the lamentation of george strangwidge , who for consenting to the death of master page of plimmouth , suffered death at barstable . the man that sighes and sorrowes for his sinne , the corps which care and woe hath wrapped in , in dolefull sort records his swan-like song , that waits for death , and loathes to liue so long . o glandfield , cause of my committed crime , shared in wealth , as birds in bush of lime : what cause hadst thou to beare such wicked spight against my good , and eke my loues delight ? i would to god thy wisedome had beene more , or that i had not entred in thy doore : or that thou hadst a kinder father beene , unto thy child , whose yeares are yet but greene : the match vnméete which thou for muck didst make , when aged page thy daughter home did take : well maist thou rue with teares that cannot dry , which was the cause that foure of vs must dye . ulalia faire , more bright than summers sunne , whose beauty had my heart for euer won , my soule more sobs to thinke of thy disgrace , than to behold mine owne vntimely race . the déed late done in heart i doe lament , but that i lou'd , i cannot yet repent : thy séemely sight was euer swéet to me , would god my death would thy excuser be . it was for me ( alas ) thou didst the same , on me of right they ought to lay the blame : my worthlesse loue hath brought my life in scorne , now woe is me that euer i was borne . farewell my loue , whose loyall heart was séene , would god thou hadst not halfe so constant béene : farewell my loue the pride of plimmouth towne , farewell the flower whose beauty is cut downe . for twenty yeares great was the cost i know , thy vnkind father did on thée bestow : yet afterward so sore did fortune lowre , he lost his joy and child within an houre . my wrong and woe to god i doe commit , his was the fault , by matching them vnfit : and yet my guilt i cannot so excuse , i gaue consent his life for to abuse . wretch that i am that i consent did giue , had i denied , ulalia still should liue : blind fancy said , her suite doe not denie , line thou in blisse , or else in sorrow die . o lord forgiue this cruell déed of mine , upon my soule let beames of mercy shine : in justice lord doe thou no vengeance take , forgiue vs both for jesus christ his sake . finis . the sorrowfull complaint of mistris page , for causing her husband to be murdered , for the love of george strangwidge , who were executed together . if euer woe did touch a womans heart , or griefe did gall for sinne the inward part : my conscience then and heauy heart within , can witnesse well my sorrow for my sinne . when yéeres were young my father forc't me wed , against my will , where fancy was not led , i was content his pleasure to obey , although my heart was linkt another way . great were the guifts they proffered to my sight , with wealth they thought to win me to delight : but gold nor guift my heart could not remoue , for i was linkt whereas i could not loue . me thought his sight was loathsome to my eye , my heart did grudge against him inwardly : this discontent did cause my deadly strife , and with his wealth i liu'd a loathsome life . my constant loue was on young strangwidge set , and woe to them that did our welfare let : his loue to me so déepe a roote did take , i could haue gone a begging for his sake . wronged he was euen through my parents plaine , wronged he was through fond desire of gaine , if faith and troth a perfect iudge might be , i had béene wife vnto no man but he . eternall god forgiue my faithlesse déed , and grant all maidens to take better héed , if i had constant béene vnto my friend , i had not matcht to make so bad an end . but wanting grace , i sought my owne decay , and was the cause to cast my friend away : and he in whom my earthly joyes did lie , through my amisse , a shamefull death must die . farewell swéet george , my louing faithfull friend , néedes must i laud and loue thée to the end , and albeit that page possest thy due , in sight of god thou wast my husband true . my watry eyes vnto the heauens i bend , crauing of christ his mercy to extend : my bloody déed , o lord , doe me forgiue , and let my soule within thy kingdome liue . farewell false world , and friends that fickle be , all wiues farewell , example take by me : let not the deuill to murder you entice : seeke to escape each soule and filthy vice . and now , o christ , to thée i yéeld my breath , strengthen my faith in bitter pangs of death . forgiue my faults and follies i thée pray , and with thy blood wash thou my sinnes away , finis . a pleasant new song between a seaman, and his love. shewing, though at the

a famous gallant was he in his days ; by birth a wealthy clothier's son , deeds of wonder he hath done , to purchase him a lang and lasting praise . if i would tell you his story ; pride was all his glory ; and lusty stukely he was call'd in court ; he serv'd a bishop in the west , and did accompany the best ; maintaining of himself in gallant sort . being thus esteemed , and every where well deemed ; he gain'd the pavour of a london dame ; daughter to an alderman , curtis she was called then ; to whom 〈◊〉 suitor gallantly he came . when she his person spied , he could not be denied : so brave a gentleman he was to see . she was quickly made his wife , in weal and woe to lead her life ; her father willing thereto did agree , thus in state and pleasure , full many days thry measure ; 'till cruel death with his regardless spight , bore old curtis to his gtave , a thing that stukely wish'd to have , that he might revel then in gold so bright . he was no sooner tombed ; but stukely he presumed to spend a hundred pound a day in waste , the greatest gallant in the land had stukely's purse at their command . thus merrily away the time he past . taverns and ordinaries were his chief bravaries ; golden angels then flew up and down , riots were his best delight , with stately feasting day and night . in court and city thus he won renown ; thus wasting lands and living , by this lawless giving ; at length he sold the pavement of the yard . which cover'd was with blocks of tin , old curtis left the same to him , which he consumed lately as you 've heard . whereat his wife sore grieved , desiring to be relieved : make much of me dear husband she did say , i 'll make much more of thee ( said he ) than any one shall verily ; i 'll sell thy cloaths , anh then go my way . cruelly thus hard-hearted , away from her he parted ; and travel'd into italy with speed : there he flourish'd many a day , in his silks and rich array ; and did the pleasures of a lady feed . it was the lady's pleasure , to give him gold and treasure , to maintain him with great pomp and fame , at last news came assuredly , of a battle fought in barbary ; and he would valiantly go see the same , many a noble gallant . sold both land and talent ; to follow stukely in this famous fight ; whereas three kings would advent'rously with courage bold . within this battle shew'd themselves in fight stukely and his followers all , of the king of portugal , had entertainment like ro gentlemen . the king affected stukely so , that he did his secrets know ; and bore his royal standard now and then . upon this day of honour , each man did show his manner ; norocco , and the king of barbary ; portugal and all his train , bravely glittering on the plain ; and gave the onset there most valiantly . the cannons there rebounded , and thundering guns redounded : kill , kill , then was the soldiers cry ; mangled men lay on the ground , and with blood the earth was drown'd , the sun was likewise darken'd in the sky , heaven was so displeased , and would not be appeased ; but tokens of god's wrath did show : that he was angry at this war , he sent a fearful blazing star ; thereby the king might his misfortune know bloody was the slaughter ; or rather cursed murder ; where sixscore thousand fighting men be flain three kings within this fight dy'd , and forty lords and dukes beside ; the like may never more be fought again , with woeful arms , enfolding , stukely stood beholding this cursed sacrifice of men that day ▪ he sighing said , i wicked wight , against my conscience here to fight ; and brought my followers unto decay , being thus sore vexed , and with grief oppressed ; these brave italians that sold their lands , with stukely to ventuae forth , and hazard life sor nothing worth , upon him then did cast their cursed hands . unto death thus wounded , his heart with sorrow swooned ; unto them he made his heavy moan : thus have i left my country dear , to be in this manner murder'd here ? even in this place where i am not known , my wife i have much wronged , of what to her belonged . i did consume in wicked course of life . what i had is past i see : and brings nought but grief to me . therefore grant me pardon , gentle wife . life i see consumeth ; and death i see presumeth to change this life of mine into a new ; yet this my my greatest comfort brings , i liv'd and dy'd in love of kings , rnd so brave stukely bids the world adieu . stukely's ltfe thus ended , was after death befriended ;

fortunes in their fairest birth , are but blossomes dying , wanton pleasures , doting mirth , are but shadowes flying : all our ioyes are but toyes , idle thouhgts deceiuing ; none hath power of an houre , in our liues bereauing . what if a smile , or a becke or a looke , féede thy fond thoughts , with many a sweet conceiuing : may not that smile , or that becke , or that looke , tell thee as well they are but vaine deciuing ? why should beauty be so proud , in things of no surmounting ? all her wealth is but a shroud , of a rich accounting : then in this repose no blisse , which is so vaine and idle : beauties flowers haue their howers , time doth hold the bridle . what if the world with allures of her wealth , raise thy degree to a place of high aduancing ? may not the world by a check of that wealth , put thée againe to as low dispised chancing ? whilst the suune of wealth doth shine , thou shalt haue friends plenty : but come want , then they repine , not one abides of twenty : wealth and friends holds and ends , as your fortunes rise and fall , up and downe , rise and frowne , certaine is no state at all ▪ what if a griefe , or a straite , or a fit , pinch thée with paine , or the féeling panges of sicknes : doth not that gripe , or that straine , or that fit , shew thée the forme of thy owne true perfect likenesse ?

but woe is me , that ere i sée the face of him , makes me thus singing , most heavily i sing , and cry , my husband hath no fore-cast in him . his flattering tongue it did bewitch me , faire promises to me he gave . and said i should have all things plenty , but no such thing i 'm sure i have ; his purse is light , nothing is right , although a portion i did bring him ; aye me poore soule , thus to condole , my husband hath no fore-cast in him . hée 's not the man i tooke him for , alas , who would be so much tyde ? i tell you friends now seriously , my husband he doth nought but chide : his lookes are sowre , and he doth lowre ;

but now i finde his glory fades : so spruce he went , would give content , to any maiden that could win him , hée'd dance , and sing , wrestle and ring ; but now he hath no fore-cast in him . some men vnto their wives are loving , and all content to them doe give ; but mine is lumpish sad and heavy , which is the cause wherefore i grieve : if i prove kind , some fault hée'l finde , and sayes he knowes where his shooe wrings him ; in darke , or light , by day or night , my husband hath no fore-cast in him . the second part , to the same tune . he kéepes me short of every thing , no money he will give or lend ; 't is fitting sometimes that a woman should with a friend some money spend : i must sit héere , with heavy chéere , although that i did something bring him ; which makes me thus to cry , alas , my husband hath no fore-cast in him . he doth not use me like a woman , and doth not care what clothes i have . when other mens wives weare each fashion , and are maintained rich and brave : thus to the wall , i may condole , although that this same song i sing him : some counsell give , me to relieve ; my husband hath no fore-cast in him . eringo-roots i doe provide him . which cawdles made of muscadine , yea , marrow-bones and oyster-pyes , which all are dishes good and fine : and lobsters great , for him to eat , and yolks of eggs ; these have i gin him : doe what i can , yet this same man by no meanes will have fore-cast in him . he will not have me goe abroad , yet seldome is himselfe at home ; he saith that i must be a house-dove , i must not flye abroad and come : when other wives , doe lead brave lives , they 'l goe to playes , heare fidlers singing , and spend their coyne , at ale or wine ; my husband hath no fore-cast in him . thus like the turtle i sit mourning , because i have an unkind mate ; and fickle fortune on me frowneth , it is my destiny and fate : i hope hée'l mend , and be more kinde , with swéet embraces i will cling him ; i le speake him faire to have more care ; that he may have more fore-cast in him . but if i sée hee will not mend , come tell me widdow , maid , or wife ; what shall i doe in this same woe ? for i am weary of this life : my tongue i le tune , it shall chime noone , and in his eares a peale i le ring him ;

that mine did eyes see his face , and that mine eares had heard his voyce , his love i fréely did embrace , my heart told me he was my choice . o had he still continued true , and in affection permanent , had hée performed what was due , then had i found true hearts content : but hee , regardlesse of his vow , which he did make to me before , hath thus in sorrow left me now , my former follies to deplore . would i had never séene those eyes , that ( like attractive adamants ) did my poore heart with love surprize , the power of love so me enchants . i have no power to leave his love , though with sterne hate he me pursue . to him i will most constant prove , though he be faithlesse and untrue . i put my finger unto the bush , thinking the sweetest rose to find , i prickt my finger to the bone , and yet i left the rose behind : if roses be such prickling flowers , they must be gathered when tha 're gréen , but she that loves an unkind love , alas , she rowes against the streame , oh , would he but conceive aright , the griefe that i for him sustaine , he could not chuse but change his spight to faithfull love , and leave disdaine . i love to have him still in place , his too long absence makes me mourne , yet he disdaines to sée my face , and holds my company in scorne . it grieves my heart full sore to thinke , that he whom i so dearely love , should thus refuse with me to drinke , yet can my passion ne're remove : though he , i know , could wish my death , so great is his inveterate hate , yet i could sooner lose my breath , than see him wrong'd in name or state . ill haphad i to come in place , where first i saw his tempting looke , as soone as i beheld his face , i cupids prisoner straight was tooke : and never since that fatall houre i have enioyed one minutes rest , the thought of him is of such power , it never can forsake my brest . then was i strucke with cupids dart , then was my fancie captivated , then did i vow that still my heart should rest with him though me he hated : then did he make a shew of love , which did much more my heart enflame , but now he doth perfidious prove , and gives me cause his love to blame . the second part , to the same tune . nay more , he made a vow to me , that i should be his wedded wife , and he forsakes me now i sée , which makes me weary of my life : i little thought what now i finde , that youngmen could dissemble so , sure he 's the falsest of his kinde , ill hap have i to prove him so . could any man be so hard hearted , to leave a harmelesse maid in griefe : from me all comfort cleane is parted , unlesse his favour grant reliefe . hée is the man that bred my paine , he is the man whose love alone must be the salve to cure my paine , or else my life will soone be gone . o faithlesse wretch , consider well that heaven abhorreth periury : great torments are prepar'd in hell for them that thus will sweare and lye . oh hadst thou never made a show of love , thou hadst excus'd thy blame : but thy false heart full well doth know what oaths thy periur'd tongue did frame . that obstacle that hinders me is that which i suspect full sore : his fruit growes on some other trée , and he 's seduced by some whore : or else he hath some other lasse , perhaps like me , a harmlesse maid , whom he may bring to such a passe , as i am brought by cupids aide . oh heavens forbid that any one , that beares an honest loving mind , should thus have cause to grieve and moan , for such a knave that shames his kind . but why should i as passions move , with bitter words upon him raile , whom i am ever bound to love , untill my vitall spirits faile . swéet love forgive my lavish tongue , if i offend in any sort : to recompence thée for that wrong , i le alwayes give thee good repo●t , although to me thou art unkind , who never gave thee any cause : yet i am still resolv'd in mind , never to breake god cupids lawes . and if i never be thy wife , ( which is the thing i iustly claime ) i vow to live a single life , and never thinke of lovers game . but why speake i of life , when death doth every minute claime his due ? i cannot long retaine my breath , having a lover so untrue . let all true lovers iudge aright , in what a case poore soule am i : come gentle death , and worke thy spight , for now i am prepar'd to dye : o heaven forgive my love his wrong ,

this cooper he had a faire creature to 's wife , which a brewer i' th towne lou'd as deare as his life , and she had a tricke , which in some wiues is rife : she still kept a sheath for another mans knife , and often cornuted the cooper , while he cry'd , more worke for a cooper . it hapned one morning the cooper out went , to worke for his liuing it was his intent : he trusted his house to his wiues gouernment , and left her in bed to her owne hearts content , while he cry'd , what worke for a cooper , maids ha'ye any worke for a cooper ? and as the cooper was passing along , still crying and calling his old wonted song , the brewer , his riuall , both lustie and yong , did thinke now or neuer to doe him some wrong , and lie with the wife of the cooper , who better lov'd him than the cooper . so calling the cooper , hée to him did say , goe home to my house , and make no delay , i haue so much worke as thou canst doe to day : what euer thou earnest , i le bountifully pay . these tidings well pleased the cooper , oh , this was brave newes for the cooper . away went the cooper to th' house of the brewer , who séeing him safe at his worke to indure : thought he , now for this day the cooper is sure , i le goe to his wife , her gréen-sicknesse to cure : take heed of your forehead , good cooper , for now i must worke for the cooper . so straightwaies he went to the coopers dwelling , the goodwife to giue entertainment was willing , the brewer & she like two pigeons were billing : and what they did else they haue bound mee from telling : he pleased the wife of the cooper , who better lov'd him than the cooper . but marke how it happened now at the last , the sun-shine of pleasure was soone ouer-past ; the cooper did lacke one of 's tooles , and in haste he came home to fetch it , and found the doore fast : wife , open the doore , quoth the cooper , and let in thy husband the cooper . now when the goodwife and the brewer did heare the cooper at doore , affrighted they were : the brewer was in such a bodily feare , that for to hide himselfe he knew not where , to shun the fierce rage of the cooper , he thought he should die by the cooper . the good wife perceiuing his wofull estate , she hauing a subtill and politicke pate , she suddenly whelm'd downe a great brewing fat , and closely she couer'd the brewer with that . then after shee let in the cooper , what 's under this tub ?

besides the queen he dearly lov'd , a fair and princely dame : most peerless was her beauty found , her favour and her face , a sweeter creature in this world , did never prince embrace . her crisped locks like threads of gold , appear'd to each mans sight , her comely eyes like orient pearls , did cast a heavenly light : the blood within her christial ch●eks , did such a colour drive , as though the lilly and the rose , for mastership did strive . yea rosamond , fair rosamond , her named was called so ; to whom dame elinor our queen , was known a mortal foe : the king therefore for her defence , against the furious queen , at woodstock builded such a bower , the like was never seen . most curiously this bower was built , of stone and timber strong ; an hundred and fifty doors , did to this bower belong : and they so cunningly contriv'd , with turnings round about , that none ( but with a clew of thread ) could enter in or out . and for his love and ladies sake , that was so fair and bright ; the keeping of this bower he gave , unto a gallant knight : but fortune that doth often frown , where she before did smile ; the kings delight and ladies ioy , full soon she did beguile . for why the kings ungracious son , whom he did high advance ; against his father raised war , within the realm of france : but yet before our comely king , the english land forsook , of rosamond his lady fair , his farewel thus he took . my rosamond , the only rose that pleaseth best my eye ; the fairest rose in all the world , to feed my fantasie : the flower of my affected heart , whose sweetness doth excell ; my royal rose , a thousand times , i bid thee now farewel . for i must leave my fairest flower , my sweetest rose a space ; and cross the seas to famous france , proud rebels to abase : but yet my rose be sure thou shalt , my comming shortly see ; and in my heart whilst hence i am , i 'le bear my rose with me . when rosamond that lady bright , did hear the king say so , the sorrow of her grieved heart , her outward looks did show , and from her clear and christial eyes , the tears gush'd out apace , which like the silver pearled dew , ran down her comely face . her lips like to the coral red , did wax both wan and pale , and for the sorrow she conceiv'd , her vital spirits did fail : so falling down all in a swound , before king henries face , full oft betwixt his princely arms , her corps he did embrace . and twenty times with watry eyes , he kist her tender cheeks , until he had receiv'd again , her senses mild and meek : why grieves my rose , my sweetest rose , the king did ever say , because , quoth she , to bloody wars , my lord must part away . but sith your grace in forreign coasts , among your foes unkind ; must go to hazard life and limb , why should i stay behind ? nay , rather let me like a page , your shield and target bear , that on my breast the blow may light , that should annoy you there . o let me in your royal tent , prepare your bed at night , and with sweet herbs refresh your grace , at your return from fight : so i your presence may enjoy , no toyl i will refuse , but wanting you my life is death , which doth true love abuse . content thy self my dearest love , thy rest at home shall be ; in englands sweet and pleasant soyl , for travel fits not thee : fair ladies brook not bloody wars , sweet peace their pleasure breed ; the nourisher of hearts content , which fancy first did feed . my rose in woodstock-bower shall rest , with musick 's sweet delight ; while i amongst the pierceing pikes , against my foes do fight : my rose in robes of pearl and gold , with diamonds richly dight , shall dance the galliard of my love , while i my foes do tinite . and you sir thomas whom i trust , to be my loves defence ; be careful of my gallant rose , when i am parted hence : and there withal he fetcht a sigh , as though his heart would break , and rosamond for very grief , not one plain word could speak . for at their parting well they might , in heart be grieved sore ; after that day fair rosamond , the king did see no more : for when his grace had past the seas , and into france was gone , queen elinor with envious heart , to woodstock came anon . and forth she call'd this trusty knight , which kept this curious bower , who with his clew of twined thread , came from that famous flower : and when that they had wounded him , the queen his thred did get , and came where lady rosamond , was like an angel set . but when the queen with stedfast eyes , beheld her heavenly face , she was amazed in her mind , at her exceeding grace : cast off thy robes from thee , she said , that rich and costly be ; and drink thee up this deadly draught , which i have brought for thee . but presently upon her knees , sweet rosamond did fall : and pardon of the queen she crav'● , for her offences all : lake pitty on my youthful years , fair rosamond did cry : and let me not with poyson strong , enforced be to die . i will renounce my sinful life , and in a cloyster vide , or else be banisht if you please , to range the world so wide : and for the fault that i have done , though i was forc'd thereto , preserve my lif● , and punish me , as you think fit to do . and with these words her lilly hands , she wrung full often there ; and down along her comely cheeks , proceeded many a tear : but nothing could this furious 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 . . a new sonnet , containing the lamentation of shore's wife , who was sometimes concubine to king edward the fourth ; setting forth h●r great fall , and withal her most miserable and wretched end . to the tune of , the hunt is up . listen fair ladies , unto my misery , that lived late , in pompous state , most delightfully : and now to fortunes fair dissimulation . brought in cruel and uncouth plagues , most pitiously . shore's wife i am , so known by name , and at the flower-de-luce in cheapside , was my dwelling : the only daughter of a wealthy merchant-man against whose counsel evermore , i was rebelling . young was i loved , no action moved , my heart or mind , to give or yield , to their consenting : my parents thinking strictly for to wed me , forcing me to take that which caused my repenting . then being wedded , i was quickly tempted , my beauty caused many gallants to salute me : the king commanded , i straight obeyed ; for his chiefest iewel then he did repute me . bravely was i trained , like a queen i reigned , and poor mens suits by me was obtained : in all the court , to none was such great report , as unto me , though now in s●orn , i be disdained . when the king died , my grief was tried , from the court i was expelled , with despight : the duke of glocester being lord protector , took away my goods , against all law and right . and a procession , for my transgression , bare-footed he made me go : for to shame me , a cross before me there was carried plainly , as a pennance to my former life , for to tame me . then through london , being thus undone , the lord protector published a proclamation : on pain of death , i should not be harbour'd , which further more encreas'd my sorrow , and vexation . i that had plenty , and dishes dainty , most sumptuously brought to my board , at my pleasure : being full poor , from door to door , i beg my bread with clack and dish ;

they ruled at their will : and many lords and nobles of the land , through their occasions lost 〈◊〉 lives , and none did them withstand . and at the last they did encrease truth grief , between the king and israel , his queen and fall 〈◊〉 wise : do that her life she dreaded wandrous sor● and cast within her secret thoughts , some present help therefore . that she requests with counts nance grave and ( sage ) that she to thomas beckets youth , might go on pilgrimage : then being joyful to have that happy charice , her son and she took ship with speed , and sailed into france : and royally she was receiued then , by the king and all the rest , of ●aers and mohlemen : and unto him at last she did express , the cause of her areiv●● there , her cause and heaviness . when as her brother her grief did understand , he gave her leave to gather men , throughout his famous land , and made a promise to 〈◊〉 her eber●u●re , as oft as she should standin need of gold and silver 〈◊〉 . but when indeed she did require its same , he was as far 〈◊〉 it , as when she thither came ; and did proclaim , whilst matters were so , that none on pain of death should go , to 〈◊〉 the english 〈◊〉 . this alteration did greatly grieve the queen , that down along her lonely face , the bitter 〈◊〉 were s●en ! when she perceiv'd her friends for look her so , she knew not for her safety , which way to turn or go : but through good 〈◊〉 at last she then decreed , to seek in fruitful germany , some succour to this n●ed : and to sir john henault the 〈◊〉 she , who entertain'd this weful queen , with great sol●mnity . and with great sorrow to him she then complain'd , of all her 〈◊〉 and injuries , which she of last 〈◊〉 : so that with weeping 〈…〉 the sum whereof did greatly grieve that noble courteous knight : who made an oath he would her champion ●e , and in her 〈◊〉 spend his blood , from wrong to set her free and all my friends with 〈…〉 shall help for to advance your state , whose truth no time shall 〈◊〉 and in his promise most faithful he was found , and many lords of great account , was in his voyage bound so setting forward with a ●●odly train , at length , through gods special grace , into england they came . at harwich then , when they were ashore , of english lords and barrons bold , there came to her great state which did reioyce the queens afflicted hearts , that english lords in such sort , came for to take her part . when as king edward hereof did understand , how that the queen with such a power , was entred on his land : and how his nobles were gone to take her part he fled from london presently ; even with a heauy heart ▪ and with the spencers unto bristol go , to fortisle that gallant town , great cost he did bestow : leaving behind to govern london town , the stout bishop of exeter , whose pride was soon pull'd down . the mayor of london , with citizens great store the bishop and the spencers both , in heart they did a●●or ; therefore they took him without fear or dread , and at the standard in cheapside , they sino●e off his head : unto the queen then this message they sent , the city of london was at her commandment ; ●herefore the queen with all her company , did straight to bristol march amain ; whereas the king did lie . then she be●●teg'd the city round about , threatning sharp and cruel death , to those that were so stout ; wherefore the townsmen , their children , and their wives ; did yield the city to the queen . for safeguard of their lives : where was took , the story plain doth tell , sir hugh spencer , and with him , the carl arundel : this judgement just the nobles did set down , they should be drawn and hanged both , in sight of bristol town ; then was king edward in the castle there , and hugh spencer still with him , in dread and deadly fear ; and being prepar'd from thence to sail away ▪ the winds were found contrary , they were enforc'd to stay : but at last sir john beamount knight , did bring his sailing ship to shore , and so did stay their flight : and so these men were taken speedsly , and brought as prisoners to the queen , which did in bristoll●e . the queen by counsel of the lords and barons bold , to barkely sent the king , there to be kept in hold : and young hugh spencer that did much ill procure , was to the marshal of the post , sent unto keeping sure : and then the queen to hereford took her way , with all her warlike company , which late in bristol lay : and here behold how spencer was from town to town , euen as the queen to hereford did pass . upon a iade which they by chance had found , young spencer mounted was , with legs and hands fast bound : i writing paper along as he did go , upon his head he had to wear , which did his treason show : and to decide this traytor lewd and ill , certain men with reeden pipes , did blow before him still ; thus was he led along in every place , while many people did rejoyce , to see his strange disgrace . when unto hereford our noble queen was come , she did assemble all the lords , and knights both all and some ; and in their presence young spencer judgement had to be both hang'd and quartered , his treasons were so bad : then was the king deposed of his crown , from rule and princely dignity , the lords did cast him down ; and in his life his son both wise and ●age , was crown'd king of fair england , at fifteen years of age . finis . . a song of the banishment of the two dukes , of hereford and norfolk . two noble dukes of great renown , that long had lived in fame ; through hateful envy were cast down , and brought to sudden shame : 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 . . the noble acts of arthur of the round table . to the tune of , flying fame . when arthur first in court began , and was approved king ; by force of arms great victories won , and conquest home did bring : then into brittain straight he came , where fifty good and able knights , then repaired unto him , which were of the round table . and many justs and turnaments , before them that were drest , where valiant knights did then excel , and far surmount the rest : but one sir lancelot du lake , who was approved well , he in his fights and deeds of arms , all others did excell . when he had rested him a while , to play , to game , and sport , he thought he would to try himself , in some adventurous sort : he armed rode in forrest wide , and met a damsel fair , who told him of adventures great , whereto he gave good ear : why should i not , quoth lancelot tho , for that cause i came hither , thou seem'st ( quoth she ) a knight right good , and i will bring thee thither : whereas the mighty king doth dwell , that now is of great fame , therefore tell me what knight thou art , and then what is your name . my name is lancelot du lake , quoth she , it likes me than , here dwells a knight , that never was , e're matcht with any man : ●ho has in prison three score knights , and four that he has wound : ●nights of king arthurs court they be , and of his table round : 〈◊〉 brought him to a river-side , and also to a tree , thereon a copper bason hung , his fellows shields to see : 〈◊〉 struck so hard the bason , broke , when tarquin heard the sound , 〈◊〉 drove a horse before him straight , whereon a knight lay bound : sir knight , then said sir lancelot tho , bring me that horse-load hither ; and lay him down and let him rest , we 'l try our force together : and as i understand thou hast , so far as thou art able ; done great despite and shame , unto the knights of the round table . ●f thou be of the table round , ( quoth tarquin speedily ) both thee , and all thy fellowship , i utterly deste : that 's overmuch , quoth lancelot tho , defend thee by and by ; they put their spurs unto their steeds , and each at other slye . they couch their spears , and horses can , as though there had been thunder ; and each struck them amidst the shield , wherewith they broke in sunder : their horses backs brake under them , the knights were both aston'd , to hold their horses they made great haste , to light upon the ground : they took them to their shields full fast , thier swords they drew out then ; with mighty strokes most eagerly , each one at other ran : they wounded were , and bled full sore , for breath they both did stand ; and leaning on their swords a while , quoth tarquin , hold thy hand , and tell to me what i shall ask ; say on quoth lancelot , tho , thou art quoth tarquin , the best knight that ever i did know : and like a knight that i did hate , so that thou be not he ; i will deliver all the rest , and eke accord with thee : that is well said , quoth lancelot then , but sith it must be so ; what is the knight thou hatest so , i pray thee to me shew . his name is sir lancelot du lake , he slew my brother dear ; him i suspect of all the rest , i would i had him here : thy wish thou hast , but yet unknown , i am lancelot du luke , now knight of arthurs table round , king hauds son of suewake : and i desire thee , do thy worst , ho , ho , quoth tarquin tho , one of us two shall end our lives , before that we do go : if thou be lancelot du lake , then welcome shalt thou be ; wherefore see thou thy self defend , for now i thee defte . they buckled together so , like two wild boars rushing : and with their swords and shields they ran , at one another flashing : the ground be●winkled was with blood , tarquin began to faint : for he gave back , and bore his shield so low , he did repent : then soon spied sir lancelot tho , he leapt upon him then , he pull'd him down upon his knee , and rushing off his yelm : and then he struck his neck in ●●o , and when he had done so ; from prison , threescore knights and four , lancelot delivered tho . finis . . a song in praise of women , to a pleasant new tune : called , my vallentine . amongst all other things , that god hath made beneath the sky ; most glorious to satisfie the curious eye , of mortal men withal : the sight of eve , did soonest fit his fancy , whose courtesse and amity most speedily , had caught his heart in thrall : whom he did love so dear , a● plainly both appear , he made her queen of all the world , and mistris of his heart ; though afterwards she wrought his woe , his death and deadly smart . what need i speak of matters passed long ago , which all men know , i need not shew , to high or low , the case it is so plain , ●lthough that eve committed then so great , e're she went hence : a recompence in defence , she made mankind again : for by her blessed seed , we are redeem'd indeed , why should not then , all mortal men , esteem of women well ? and love their wives , even as their lives , as nature doth c●mpel . a vertuous wife the scripture doth commend , and say , that night and day , she is a stray , from all decay ;

the king a daughter had , beautious , bright , and lovely , which made her father glad , she was his only joy : a prince of england came , whose deeds did merit fame , he woo'd her long , and so at last , look what he did require , she granted his desire , their hearts in one were linkt so fast : which when her father proved , lord how he ws moved , and tormented in his mind ; he sought for to prevent them , and to discontent them , fortune crosseth lovers kind : when the princes twain , were thus barr'd of pleasure , through the kings disdain , which their joys withstood ; the lady got up her cloaths , her jewels , and her treasure ; having no remorse of state or royal blood : in homely poor array , she got from court away , to meet her joy and hearts delight ; who in a forrest great , had taken up his seat , to wait her comming in the night : but to see what sudden danger , to this princely stranger , chanced as he sat alone ; by out-laws he was robbed , and with poniard stobbed , uttering many a dying groan . the princess arm'd by him , and by true desire , mandring all the night , without dread at all ; still unknown she pass'd in her strange attire , comming at the last , in the ecchoes call : you fair woods , quoth she , honoured may you be , harbouring my hearts delight ; uuhich doth compass here , my joy and only dear , my trusty friend and noble right : sweet i come unto thee , sweet i come to woe thee , that thou may'st not angry be ; for my long delaying , and thy courteous staying , ' mends for all i 'le make to thee . passing thus along , through the forrest , many grievous groans , sounding in her ears : uuhere she heard a man , to lament the sorest , that was ever seen , forced by deadly fear : farewel my dear , quoth he , whom i shall never see , for why my life is at an end ; through villanies cruelty , loe here for thee i dye , to shew i am a faithful friend : here i lye a bleeding , uuhile my thoughts are feeding , on the rarest beauty found ; o hard hap that may be , little knows my lady , my heart blood lies on the ground● uuith that he gave a groan , uuhich did burst asundier , all the tender strings of his bleeding heart ; she which knew his voice , at his tale did wonder , all her former joy , did to grief convert : straight she ran to see , uuhom this man should be , that so like her love did speak ; and found when as she came , her lovely lord lay slain , all smeared in blood , which life did break . when this deed they spied , lord how sore she cried , her sorrows cannot counted be ; her eyes like fountains runing , while she cried out , my darling , i would that i had died for thee . his pale lips alas , twenty times she kissed , and his face did wash , with her trickling tears . every bleeding wound , her fair words bedewed , wiping off the blood with her golden hair : speak fair prince to me , one sweet word of comfort give , lift up thy fair eyes . listen to my crys , think in what great grief i live : all in vain she sued , all in vain she vicwed , the princess life was dead and gone ; there stood she still mourning , till the sun approaching , add bright day was coming on . in this great distress , quoth the royal lady , who can now express , what will become of me ? to my fathers court , will i never wander , but some service seek , where i might placed be , and thus she made her moan , uueeping all alone , all in dread and dreadful fear , a fo●rester all in green , most comely to be seen , ranging the woods did find her there : round beset with sorrow , maid , quoth he , good morrow , what hard hap brought you here ? harder hap did never , chance to maiden ever , here lies slain my brother dear . uuhere might i be plac'd , gentle forrester tell me , where should i procure , a service in my care ? pains i will not spare , and will do my duty , ease me of my care , help my extream need : the forrester all amazed , on her beauty gazed , till his heart was set on fire ; yes , fair maid , quoth he , you shall have your hearts desire . he brought her to his mother , and above all other he sets forth the maidens praise ; long was his heart inflamed , at last her love he gained , thus did his glory raise . thus unknown he married , with the kings fair daughter , children they had seven , e're he knew the same ; but when he understood , she was a royal princess , by this means at last , she shewed forth her fame : he cloth'd his children not like to other men , in party colours strange to see ; the left side cloth of gold , the right side now behold , of woollen cloth still framed he . men hereat did wonder , golden fame did thunder , this strange deed in every place ; the king of france came thither , being pleasant weather , in the woods the part to chase : the children then did stand , as their father wistled , where the royal king must of force come by ; their bother richly clad , in fair crimson velvet , their father all in gray , comely to the eye : then the famous king , noted every thing , asking how he durst be so bold , to let his wife to wear , and deck his children there , in costly robes and cloath of gold : the forrester thus reply'd , and the case de●crib'd to the king thus did say ; ●ell may they by their bother , wear rich gold like other , being by birth a princess gay . the king upon these words , more heedful beheld them , till a crimson blush , his conceit did crofs , the more i look , he said , on thy wife and children , the more i call to mind : my daughter whom i lost : i am the child ( quoth she ) falling on her knee , pardon me my soveraign leige , the king perceiving this , his daughter dear did kiss , and joyful tears did stop his speech : with his train he turned , and with her sojourned , straightway he dub'd her husband knight ; then made him earl of flanders , one of his chief commanders , thus was his sorrows put to flight . finis . of the faithful friendshid that lasted between two faithful friends . to the tune of , flying fame , in stately rome sometimes did dwell , a man of noble fame ; who had a son of seemly shape , alphonso was his name : when he was grown and come to age , his father thought it best , to send his son to athens fair , where wisdoms school did rest . and when he was to athens come , good lectures for to learn ; a place to board him with delight , his friends di● well disce●n : a noble knight of athens low● ▪ of him did take the charge , who had a son ganselo ca●'d , just of his pi●ch and age . in stature and in person both , in favour , speech , on● face ; in quality and condi●ions ●ke they 'greed in ●very place : so like they were in all resp●cts , the one unto the other ; they were not known but by their names , of father or of mother . and as in favour they were found , alike in all re●●●●s , even so they did most dearly l●ot , and probe , by 〈…〉 : ganselo loved a la●y fair , which did in athens ●well ; who was in beauty p●erless 〈◊〉 , so far ●he did excell . upon a time it chanced so , as fancy 〈…〉 ; that he would visit for delight , his lady and his love : and to his true and faithful friend , he declared the same : asking of him , if he would see , that fair and comely dame. alphonso did thereto agree , and with ganselo went ; to see the lady which he lov'd , which bred his discontent : but when he cast his chrystial eyes , upon her angels hue ; the beauty of that lady bright , did staight his heart subdue . his gentle heart so wounded was , with that fair ladies face ; that afterwards he daily liv'd , in sad and woful case : and of his grief he knew not how , therefore to make an end ; for that he knew his ladies love , was yielded to his friend . thus being sore perplext in mind , upon his bed he lay ; like one which death and deep despair , had almost worn away : his friend ganselo that did see , his grief and great distress ; at length requested for to know , his cause of heaviness . with much ad● at length he told , the truth unto his friend ; who did relieve his inward woe , with comfort to the end : take courage then , dear friend , quoth he , though she through love be mine ; my right i will resign to thee , the lady shall be thine . you know our favours are alike , our speech also likewise ; this day in mine apparel then , you shall your self disguise : and unto church then shall you go , directly in my stead ; loe though my friends suppose'tis i , you shall the lady wed . alphonso was so well appaid , and as they had decreed ; he went that day and wedded plain , the lady there indeed : but when the nuptual feast was done , and phoebus quite was fled ; the lady for gansela took alphonso to her bed . that night they spent in pleasant sport , and when the day was come , a poast for fair alphonso come , to fetch him home to rome : then was the matter plainly prov'd , alphonso wedded was , and not ganselo to that dame , which brought great woe , alas . alphonso being gone to rome , with this his lady gay , ganselo's friends and kind●ed all , in such a rage did stay : that they depriv'd him of his wealth , his land and rich attire : and banished him their country quite , in rage and wrathful ire . with sad and pensive thoughts alas , ganselo wandred then , who was constrain'd through want to beg , relief of many men : in this distress , oft would he say : to rome i mean to go , to seek alphonso , my dear friend , who will relieve my woe . to rome when poor ganselo came , and found alphonso's place ; which was so famous , huge , and fair , himself in such poor case ▪ he was asham'd to shew himself , in that his poor array , saying , alphonso knows me well , if he would come this way . therefore he staid within the street , alphonso then came by , but heeding not ganselo poor , his friend that stood so nigh : which griev'd ganselo to the heart , quoth he , and is it so ? doth proud alphonso now disdain his friend indeed to know . in desperate sort away he went , into a barn hard by , and presently he drew his knife , thinking thereby to dye : and bitterly in sorrow there , he did lament and weep , and being over weighed with grief , he there fell fast asleep . while soundly there he sweetly slept , come in a murthering thief ; and saw a naked knife lye by this man so f●ll of grief : the knife so bright , he took up straight , and went away amain ; and thrust it in a●● urehered man , which before he had slain . and afterwards he went with speed , and put this bloody knife ; into his hand that sleeping lay , to save himself from strife : which done , away in haste he ran , and that search was made , ganselo with his bloody knife , was for the murther staid : and brought before the magistrate , who did confess most plain ; that he indeed with that same knife , the murthered man had slain : alphonso sitting there as iudge , and knowing ganselo's face , to save his friend did say , himself was guilty in that case . none , quoth alphonso , kill'd the man , my lord but only i ; and therefore set this poor man free , and let me justly dye : thus while for death these faithful friends , in striving did proceed ; the man before the senate came , which did the fa●t indeed . who being moved with remorse , their friendly hearts to see ; did say befo●e the iudges plain , none did the fa●t but he : thus when the truth was plainly told , of all sides joy was seen ; alphonso did embrace his friend , which had so woful been . in rich array he cloathed him , as fitted his degree ; and helpt him to his lands ●ga●n , and former dignity : t●e murtherer for telling truth , had pardon at that time ; who afterwards lamented much , this foul and grievous crime . finis . the second part of the garland of good-will , . a pastoral song to the tune of , hey ho holy-day . upon a down where shepherd keep , piping pleasant lays ;

and first unto bethulia , with speed let us be gone : i will destroy each mothers son that is within the land ; their god shall not deliver them , out of my furious hand . wherefore about bethulia , that little city then ; on foot he planted up and down , an hundred thousand men : twelve t●ousand more on horses brave about the town had he ▪ he stopt their springs and water-pipes , to work their misery . when four and thirty days they had , with wars besieged been ; the poor bethulians at that time , so thirsty then were seen : that they were like to starve and dye , they were both weak and faint , the people against the rulers cry , and thus was their complaint . better it is for us , quoth they , to yield unto our foe , then by this great and grievous thirst , to be destroyed so : o render up the town therefore , we are forsaken quite : there is no means to escape these hands , who might escape their might ? when as their grievous rulers heard , the clamours which they made ▪ good people be content , said they , and be no whit dismaid : yet five days stay in hope of health , god will regard your woe ; but if by then , no succour come , we 'l yield unto our foe . when judith ( prudent princely dame ) had tydings of this thing ; which was manasses beautous ●osse , that sometimes was their king ; why tempt ye god so sore , she said , before all men this day ; whom mortal men in conscience ought , to fear and eke obey ? if you will grant me leave , quoth she , to pass abroad this night , to holofornes i will go , for all his furious might : but what i there intend to do , enquire not now of me , go then in peace , fait dame , they said , and god be still with thee . when she from them was gotten ●ome , within her pallace gate , she called to her the chiefest maid , that on her then did wait : bring me my best attire , quoth she , and iewels of fine gold , and wash me with the finest balmes , that are of silver sold. the fairest and the richest robe , that then she did possess ; upon her dainty corps she put , and eke her hair did dress , with costly pearls , and precious stones , and ear-rings of fine gold ; that like an angel she did seem , most sweet for to behold . a pot of sweet and pleasant oyl , she took with her that time ; a bag of figs , and fine wheat flower , a bottle of ●ne wine ; because she would not eat with them , that woriship gods of stone , and from the city thus she went , with one poor maid alone . much ground alas , she had not gone , out of her own city ; but that the centinels espy'd , a woman wondrous pritty : from whence came you fair maid , quoth they , and where walk you so late ? from yonder town , good sir , quoth she , unto your lord of high estate . when they did mark and view her well , and saw her fair beauty ; and therewithal her rich array , so gorgeous to the eye : they were amazed in their minds , so fair a dame to see ; they set her in a chariot then , in place of high degree . an hundred proper chosen men , they did appoint likewise ; to wait on princely judith there , whose beauty clear'd their eyes : and all the souldiers running came , to view her , as she went ; and thus with her they past along , unto the generals tent. then came this stately guard in haste , fair judith for to me●t ; and to their high renowned lord , they brought this lady sweet : and then before his honour , upon her knee she fell ; her beauty bright made him to muse , so far she did excell . rise up renowned dame , quoth he , the glory of thy kind , and be no whit adasht at all , to shew me thy mind : uuhen she had uttered her intent , her wit amaz'd them all , and holoforness therewith , by love was brought in thrall . and bearing in his lofty breast , the flames of hot desire , he granted every thing to her , she did of him require : each night therefore he gave ●er 〈◊〉 , to walk abroad to pray : according to her own request , which she had made that day . uuhen she in camp had three days been , near holofornes tent , his chiefest friend lord treasurer , unto her then he sent : fair dame , quoth he , my lord commands this night your company , quoth she , i will not my lord in any thing deny . a very great and sumtuous feast , did holofornes make , amongst the lords and 〈◊〉 〈…〉 iudiths 〈◊〉 ▪ but of their dainties in 〈…〉 would pleasant iudith take ▪ ●et holofornes merry 〈◊〉 so near him she was 〈◊〉 and being very pleas●●●ly , disposed at that 〈◊〉 ye drunk with them 〈…〉 , of strong 〈…〉 so that his strength 〈…〉 , so far from 〈…〉 they laid him down , and judith their was brought unto his bed. when all the doors about were s●ut , and every one was 〈◊〉 hard by the pillow of his 〈◊〉 , his sword 〈…〉 dawn : then down she took 〈…〉 to 〈…〉 ; she cut his head from 〈…〉 quite , and gave it to her maid . the rich and golden canopy , that hung ●●er his bed ; she took the same with her likewise ▪ with holofornes head : and thus through all the court of guards , she escap'd clean away ; none did her stay , thinking that she had gone forth to pray . when she had past , escap'd quite the danger of them all , and that she was come , near unto the siedged cities wall ▪ come open me the gates , quoth she , our foe the lord hath slain ; see here his head within my hand , that bore so great a fame . upon a pole they pifcht his head , that all men might it spy ; and o're the city wall forthwith , they set it presently : then all the souldiers in the town , marcht forth in rich array ; but sure their foes spy'd their approach , for 't was at break of day . then running hastily to call , their general out of bed ; they found his liveless body there , but clean without a head : uuhen this was known , all in amaze , they fled away each man ; they left their tents full rich behind , and so away they ran . ●o here , behold , how god provides , for them that in him trust ; uuhen earthly hope is all in vain , he takes us from the dust : how often hath our judith sav'd and kept us from decay ; sainst holofornes and pope , as may he seen this day . finis . . a princely ditty , in praise of the english rose . translated out of french. amongst the princely paragons , bedeckt with dainty diamonds ;

his countries honour to advance , the noble and famous earl of salisbury . brave sir william montague , rode then in haste , who declared unto the king , the scotish-mens ●oast : who like a lyon in a rage , did straightway prepare , for to deliver that fair lady , from woful care : but when the scotish-men did hear her say , edward our king was come that d●y : they raised their siege and ran away with speed so when th●t he did 〈◊〉 come with warlike trumpet , ●ife and ●rum , none but a gallant lady did him meet . who when he did with greedy eyes behold and see ; her peerless beauty inthral'd his majesty : and ever the longer that he lookt ; the more he might : for in her only beauty was his hearts delight . and humbly then upon her knees , she thankt his royal majesty , that he had driven danger from her gate : lady , quoth he , stand up in peace , although my war doth now encrease , lord keep ( quoth she ) all hurt from ●our ●state now is the king full sadin soul , and wots not why , and for the love of the fair countess of salisbury . she little knowing his cause of g●ief , did come to see , wherefore his highness sat alone so heavily , i have ●een wrong'd , fair dame ( quoth he ) since i came hithed unto th● ;

but from your wanton tempting tale , i go my way : o turn again my lady bright , come unto me my hearts delight ; gone is the comfort of my ●ensive heart ; yere comes the earl of warwick he , the father of this fair lady , my mind to him i mean for to impart . ●hy is my lord and soveraign king , so griev'd in mind ? because that i have lost the thing i cannot find . what thing is that any gra●ious lord which you have lost ? it is my 〈◊〉 which to near 〈◊〉 betwixt fire and frost ? curst be that fire and frosttho , that caused this your highness wo● : o warwick ! thou 〈◊〉 wrong me very 〈◊〉 it is thy daughter noble earl , that heaven-bright-lamp , that peerless pearl , which kills my heart , yet do i her adore . if that be all ( my gracious king ) that works your grief , i will perswade the sco●nful dame to yield relief : never shall she my daughter be , if she refuse , the love and favour of a king , may her excuse : thus 〈◊〉 warwick went away , and quits contrary he did say , when as he did the beaut●ous countess meet ;

to favour him in anything , she was not coy . at the last there raine commandment , for to set the ladies free ; with their jewels still ado●ned , none to do thein injury : alas then said the lady gay , full woe is me ! o let me still sustain this kind captivity . gallant captain shew some pitty to a lady in distress , leave me not within the city for to dye in heaviness , thou hast set this present day my body free : but my heart in prison strong , remains with thee . how should thou ( fair lady ) love me , whom thou know'st thy countries foe , thy fair words makes me sus●ect thee , serpents are where flowers grow : all the evil i think to thee , most gracious knight ; god grant unto my self the same may fully light . blessed be the time and season , that you came on spanish ground ; if you may our foes be termed , gentle foes we have you found : with our cities you have won , our hearts eath one ; then to your country bear away , that is your own . rest you still ( most gallant lady ) rest you still and weep no more ; of fair lovers there are plenty , spain doth yield a wondrous store : spaniards fraught with jealousse , we often find ; but english-men throughout the world are counted kind . leave me not unto a spaniard , you alone enjoy my heart ; i am lovely , young , and tender , love is likewise my desert : still to serve thee day and night , my mind is prest , the wife of every english-man is counted blest . it would be a shame , fair lady , for to hear a woman hence , english souldiers never carry and such without offence . i will quickly change my self , if it be so ; and like a page i 'le follow thee , where e're thou go . i have neither gold nor silver , to maintain thee in this case , and to travel 't is great charges , as you know in every place . my chains and jewels every one , shall be thine own ; and eke five hundred pounds in gold , that lies unknown . on the seas are many dangers , many storms doth there arise ; which will be to ladies dreadful , and force tears from watry eyes : well in worth , i could endure extremity ; for i could find in heart to lose my life for the● . courteous lady be contented , here comes all that breeds the ●●rise ; i in england have already , a sweet woman to my wife : i will not falsifie my vow , for gold or gain , nor yet for all the fairest dames , that live in spain . o how happy is that woman that enjoys so true a friend ; many days of joy god send you , and of my suit i 'le make an end : upon my knees i pardon crave , for this offence ; which love and true affection , did first commence . commend me to thy loving lady , bear to her this chain of gold , and these bracelets for a token , grieving that i was so hold : all my jewels in like sort , bear thou with thee , for these are fitting for thy wife , and not for me . i will spend my days in prayer , love and all her laws defies ; in a nunnery will i shrew me , far from other company : but e're my prayers h●●e 〈◊〉 and , be sure of this ▪ to pray for thee and for thy love , i will not miss . thus farewel gentle captain , and farewel my hearts concent , count not spanish ladies wanton , though to thee my love was bent : joy and true prosperity , go still with thee ; the like fall ever to thy share , most fair lady . . a farewel to love. farewel false love , the oracle of lies , a mortal foe , an enemy to rest , an envious boy , from whence great cares arise , a bastard vile , a beast with age possest : a way for errour , a tempest full of treason , in all respects contrary unto reason . a poysoned serpent cover'd all with flowers , mother of sighs , and murtherers of repose ; a sea of sorrows , whence run all such showers : as moisture gives to every grie●● that grows : a school of guile , a nest of deep deceit : a golden hook that holds a poysoned 〈◊〉 a fortress field , whom reason did defend , a syrens song , a server of the mind ; a maze wherein affections find no end , a raining cloud , that runs before the wind : a substance like the shaddow of the sun , a cole of grief , for which the wisest run : a quenchless fire , a rest of trembling fear , a path that leads to peril and mishap , a true retread of sorrow and despair , an idle boy , that sleeps in pleasures lap : a deep mistrust of that which certain seems , a hope of that which reason doubtful deems . then sith thy reign my younger years betray'd , and for my faith , ingratitude i find ; and such repentance hath the wrong bewray'd , whose crooked cause hath not been after kind : false love go back , and beauty frail adieu , dead is the root from which such fancies grew . finis . the lover by his gifts thinks to conquer chastity and with his gifts sends these verses to his lady . what face so fair , that is not crackt with gold ? what wit so worth that hath in gold his wonder ? what learning but with golden lines doth hold ? what state so high , but gold could lying it under , what thought so sweet , but gold doth better seafo● , and what rule better then the golden reason ? the ground was fat that yields the golden fruit the study high that sets the golden state : the labour sweet that gets the golden suit : the reckoning rich that scorns the golden rate : the love is sure that golden hoxe doth hold , and rich again , that serves the god of gold. finis . the womans answer . foul is the face whose beauty gold can raft , worthless the wit that hath gold in her wonder ; unlearned lines , puts gold in honours place , wicked the state that will to coin come under : base the conceit that seasoned is with gold , and beggers rule that such a reason hold . earth gives the gold , but heaven gives greater grace , men study wealth , but angels wisdom raise ; labour seeks peace , love hath an higher place , death makes the reckoning , life is all my race : the hope is here , my hope of heaven doth hald , god give me grace , let dives dye with gold . finis . good ale for my money. the good-fellowes resolution of strong ale, that cures his nose from looking pale. to the tune of, the countrey lasse. l. p.

these tydings well pleased the cooper , oh this was braue newes for the cooper . away went the cooper to th' house of the brewer , who séeing him hard at his worke to endure , thought he , now for this day the cooper is sure , i le goe to his wife the gréene sickenesse to cure , take heed of your fo●e-head , good cooper . for now i must worke for the cooper . so strait waies he went to the coopers dwelling , the good wife to giue entertainment was willing : the brewer & she like to pigeons were billing , & what they did else they haue bound me from telling● he pleased the wife or the cooper , who better lou'd him then the cooper . but marke how it happened now at the last , their sun-shine of pleasures was soone ouer-cast , the cooper did lacke one of 's tooles , and in hast , he came home to fetch it , and found the doore fast : wife , open the doore , quoth the cooper , and let thy husband the cooper . now when the good-wife and the brewer did heare , the cooper at doore , affrighted they were , the brewer was in such a bodily feare , that for to hide himselfe , he knew not where , to shun the fierce rage of the cooper , he thought he should die by the cooper . the good wife perceiuing his woefull estate , she hauing a subtill and politicke pate , she suddenly whelm'd downe a great brewing fat , and closely she couer'd the brewer with that , then after she let in the cooper , what 's vnder this tub , quoth the cooper , the second part , to the same tune . she hearing her husband that question demaund , she thought it was time to her tackling to stand , take heed how you moue it , qd . she , with your hand , for there 's a liue pig , was left by a friend , oh let it alone good cooper , thus she thought to coozen the cooper . it is a sow pig the cooper did say , let me ha' it to my supper : the good-wife said nay . it is sir a bore pig , quoth she , by my fay , t is for mine owne dyet , t was giuen me to day . it is not for you iohn cooper , then let it alone iohn cooper . i would it were in thy belly , quoth iohn , indéed then quoth she so it shall be anon , what ere become of it , faith thou shalt haue none , why standst thou here prating , i prethée be gone , make haste to thy worke iohn cooper , worse meate 's good enough for a cooper . cannot a good-wife haue a bit now and than , but there must be notice tane by the good man , i le ha' it to my dinner sir , doe what you can , it may be i long to haue all or none , then prethee content thee good cooper , oh goe to thy worke iohn cooper . the cooper mistrusted some knauery to be , hid vnder the brewing fat , and therefore he was fully resolued for his mindes sake to sée , alas said the brewer then woe be to me , oh what shall i say to the cooper , i vvould i vvere gone from the cooper . you whore quoth the cooper , is this your bore pig ? he has béene well fed , for hée s growne very big , i le eyther of him haue an arme or a leg , i le make him vnable his taile for to wrig . before he gets hence from iohn cooper , i le make him remember the cooper . oh pardon me neighbour the brèwer did say , and for the offence i haue done thée this day , i am well contented , thy wrath to allay , and make restitution for this my foule play , oh prethee forgiue me iohn cooper , and i le be a friend to iohn cooper . if for this offence thou wilt set me cleare , my bounty and loue to thée shall appeare , i le fréely allow thée and thine all the y●●re , as much as yee 'll drinke , eyther strong al 's or ●●●re , then prethee forgiue me iohn cooper , accept of my profer iohn cooper . oh , no , quoth the cooper , i le haue thée to thinke , that i with my labour can buy my selfe drinke , i le geld thée , or lame thée , ere from me thou shrinke , these words made the brewer with feare for to stincke , he feared the rage of the cooper , yet still he intreated the cooper . the cooper by no meanes would let goe his hold , the brewer cri'd out to the cooper and told him , there was the key of his siluer and gold , and gaue him frée leaue to fetch what he would , oh then he contented the cooper these tydings well pleased the cooper . if thou quoth the cooper , wilt sweare with and oath , to doe all thou telst me , although i am loath , i will be contented to pardon you both : content , quoth the brewer , i will be my troth , here take thou my key , iohn cooper , yea , with a good will , quoth the cooper . on this condition they both went their way , both iohn and the brewer , but iohn kept the key , which open'd the coffer where more money lay , then iohn the cooper had made many a day : this is a braue sight thought the cooper , i le furnish my selfe thought the cooper . iohn was so farre in affection with that , that he tooke vp handfuls and filled his hat , i wil haue my bargaine quoth iohn , that is flat , the brewer shall pay well for vsing my fat ; i le cry no more worke for a cooper , farewell to the trade of a cooper , thus money can pacifie the greatest strife , for iohn neuer after found fault with his wife , he left off his adz , his saw and his knife , and after liu'd richly all dayes of his life , he cri'd no more worke for a cooper , oh he left off the trade of a cooper . and in his mer●y mood , oft he would say , if that i had hoopt twenty t●●● in one day , i should not haue got so much wealth , by my say , gr●●●ercy kind wife , for thy wit found the wa● , to make a rich man of iohn cooper , oh what a good wife has iohn cooper , let no marri'd couple that heare this tale told , be of the opinion this couple did hold , to sell reputation for siluer or gold , for credit and honestie should not be sold , thus endeth the song of the cooper , that cri'd ha'y any worke for a cooper . finis . advice to the ladies of london,

ascii text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable xml (tcp schema; characters represented either as utf- unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless xml (tei p , characters represented either as utf- unicode or tei g elements). keying and markup guidelines are available at the text creation partnership web site . eng ballads, english -- th century. - tcp assigned for keying and markup - spi global keyed and coded from proquest page images - john pas sampled and proofread - john pas text and markup reviewed and edited - pfs batch review (qc) and xml conversion advice to the ladies of london , in the choice of their husbands . to an excellent new court tune . this may be printed , r.p. ladies of london both wealthy and fair , whom every town fop is pursuing , still of your persons and purses take care the greatest deceit lies in wooing : from the first rank of the bonny brisk sparks their vices i here will discover down to the basest mechanick degree that so you may chuse out your lover . first for the courtier look to his estate before he to far be proceeding , he of court favours and places will prate , and settlements make of his breeding : nor wear the yoak of dull country clown , although they are fat in their purses ; brush you with brissles and toping full fowls . make love to their dogs and their horses . but above all , the rank citizen hate ; the court or the country chuse rather ; would you have a blockhead that gets an estate by sins of the cuckold his father ? the ●raking clown intreaging does mar , the prentices husting and ranting , cit ▪ puts on his sword , when without temple-bar and goes to whitehall a gallanting . let no spruce officer keep you in awe , the sword is a thing transitory ;
