Wherefore, I pray thee, Baldwine, way the cause,
And prayse my father as hee doth deserue?
Because earle Henry, king agaynst all lawes,
Endeuoured king Richard for to starue
In iayle, whereby the regall crowne might swarue
Out of the line to which it than was due,
(Whereby God knowes what euill might ensue.)

My lord Iohn Holland, duke of Excester,
Which was deare cosin to this wretched king,
