770796That bloud already like the Pellican,

771797Hast thou tapt out and drunkenly carowst,

772798My brother Glocester plaine well meaning soule,

773799Whom faire befall in heauen mongst happy soules,

774800Maie be a president and witnes good:

775801That thou respectst not spilling Edwards bloud:

776802Ioine with the present sicknes that I haue,

777803And thy vnkindnes be like crooked age,

778804To crop at once a too long withered flower,

779805Liue in thy shame, but die not shame with thee,

780806These words hereafter thy tormentors be,

781807Convay me to my bed then to my graue,

782808Loue they to liue that loue and honour haue.

783810King And let them die that age and sullens haue,

784811For both hast thou, and both become the graue.

796821His tongue is now a stringlesse instrument,

797822Words, life, and al, old Lancaster hath spent.

798823Yorke Be Yorke the next that must be bankrout so,

799824Though death be poore, it ends a mortall wo.

800825King The ripest fruit first fals, and so doth he,

801826His time is spent, our pilgrimage must be;

802827So much for that. Now for our Irish wars,

803828We must supplant those rough rugheaded kerne,

804829Which liue like venome, where no venome else,

805830But onely they haue priuiledge to liue.

806831And for these great affaires do aske some charge,

807832Towards our assistance we doe seaze to vs:
