Crownerape accounted but cunning and skill,

Bloudshead a blockehouse to beate away ill.

The rudenesse of rebels reaching the crowne,

May be compared to Bladhud’s deuise:[564]

[But] better sit still than fall so farre downe,[565]

If Lordes coulde by others hurt learne to be wise.[566]

My selfe of [high] climbing haue payde well the price,

That rudely in throne myselfe did install

Aloft, not regarding how low I might fall.
