The Civil Wars Between the Two Houses of Lancaster and York (Selection)
88
25What cause soever were, strong was their plot,
Their parties great, means good, th'occasion fit:
Their practice close, their faith suspected not,
Their states far off and they of wary wit
Who with large promises draw in the Scot
To aid their cause, he likes, and yields to it,
Not for the love of them or for their good,
But glad hereby of means to shed our blood.
