The Civil Wars Between the Two Houses of Lancaster and York (Selection)

103

This said, and thus resolv'd, even bent to charge

Upon the king, who well their order view'd

And careful noted all the form at large

Of their proceeding, and their multitude:

Great proffers sends of pardon, and of grace

If they would yield, and quietness embrace.
