1246Two: Quarter day, I and quartering pay I feare:

1247Haue we not heard the newes that flies abroad?

1248One: What newes?

1249Three: How the French Nauy is destroyd at Sea,

1250And that the English Armie is arriued.

1251One: What then?

1252Two: What then quoth you? why ist not time to flie,

1253When enuie and destruction is so nigh,

1254One. Content thee man, they are farre enough from hence,

1255And will be met I warrant ye to their cost,

1256Before they breake so far into the Realme.

1257Two: I so the Grashopper doth spend the time,

1258In mirthfull iollitie till Winter come,

1259And then too late he would redeeme his time,

1260When frozen cold hath nipt his carelesse head:

1261He that no sooner will prouide a Cloake,

1262Then when he sees it doth begin to raigne,

1263May peraduenture for his negilgence,

1264Be throughly washed when he suspects it not,

1265We that haue charge, and such a trayne as this,

1266Must looke in time, to looke for them and vs,

1267Least when we would, we cannot be relieued.

1268One: Be like you then dispaire of ill successe,

1269And thinke your Country will be subiugate.

1270Three. We cannot tell, tis good to feare the worst.

1271One: Yet rather fight, then like vnnaturall sonnes,

1272For sake your louing parents in distresse.

1273Two. Tush they that haue already taken armes,

1274Are manie fearefull millions in respect

1275Of that small handfull of our enimies:

1276But tis a rightfull quarrell must preuaile,

1277Edward is sonnne vnto our late kings sister,

1278Where Iohn Valoys, is three degrees remoued.

1279Wo: Besides, there goes a Prophesie abroad,

1280Published by one that was a Fryer once,

1281Whose Oracles haue many times prooued true,
