Folly was the chiefe, the noughty time was next,

Which made my fortune subiect to the chiefe:

If England then with strife had not beene vext,

Glory might haue growen whereas ensued griefe:

Yet one thing is my comfort[946] and reliefe,

Constant I was in my prince’s quarell

To die, or liue, and spared for no parell.

What though fortune enuious was my foe?
