This person, who, it is manifest, was wholly supported at the king's expense, and who, it may be consequently inferred, was one of his favourite minions, was the notorious Mark Smeton, a musician, who was accused of criminal familiarity with Anne Boleyn, and upon whose cowardly perjury, chiefly, that victim was condemned. The best account of him is that given by Cavendish:
"My father a carpenter, and laboured with his hand
With the swett of his face he purchast his lyvyng
For small was his rent, much lesse was his land;
My mother in a cottage used dayly spynnyng
Loo in what mysery was my begynnyng
Till that gentle prynce, kyng of this realme
Toke me de stercore et origens pauperem
And beyng but a boy clame upp the hygh stage
That bred was of naught, and brought to felicite
Knew not myself, waxt proud in my corage
Dysdayned my father, and wold not him see,
Wherfore nowe Fortune by hir mutabilitie
Hathe made so cruelly hir power for to stretch
For my presumption, to dye like a wretch."
As his conduct was as dastardly as his birth was mean, he was put in irons when arrested, and afterwards hanged, whilst the other prisoners were beheaded.
