25272305A poore vnminded outlaw sneaking home,

25282306My father gaue him welcome to the shore:

25292307And when he heard him sweare and vow to God,

25302308He came but to be Duke of Lancaster,

25312309To sue his liuery, and beg his peace

25322310With teares of innocencie, and tearmes of zeale,

25332311My father in kinde heart and pitie mou'd,

25342312Swore him assistance, and performd it too.

25352313Now when the Lords and Barons of the realme,

25362314Perceiu'd Northumberland did leane to him,

25372315The more and lesse came in with cap and knee,

25382316Met him in Borroughs, Cities, Villages,

25392317Attended him on bridges, stoode in lanes,

25402318Laid gifts before him, profferd him their oathes,

25412319Gaue him their heires, as Pages followed him,

25422320Euen at the heeles, in golden multitudes,

25432321He presently, as greatnesse knowes it selfe,

25442322Steps me a little higher then his vow

25452323Made to my father while his blood was poore

25462324Vpon the naked shore at Rauenspurgh,

25472325And now forsooth takes on him to reforme

25482326Some certaine edicts, and some streight decrees,

25492327That lie too heauie on the Common-wealth,

25502328 Cries out vpon abuses, seemes to weepe

25512329Ouer his Countrey wrongs, and by this face

25522330This seeming brow of iustice did he winne

25532331The hearts of all that he did angle for:

25542332Proceeded further, cut me off the heads

25552333Of all the fauourits that the absent king

25562334In deputation left behind him here,

25572335When he was personall in the Irish warre.

25582336Blunt. Tut, I came not to heare this.

25592337Hot. Then to the poynt.

25602338In short time after he deposd the king,

25612339Soone after that depriu'd him of his life,

25622340And in the necke of that taskt the whole state,

25632341To make that woorse, suffred his kinsman March

25642342(Who is if euerie owner were well plac'd
