What cause soever were, strong was their plot,

26

Their parties great, means good, th'occasion fit:

27

Their practice close, their faith suspected not,

28

Their states far off and they of wary wit

29

Who with large promises draw in the Scot

30

To aid their cause, he likes, and yields to it,

31

Not for the love of them or for their good,

32

But glad hereby of means to shed our blood.
