Would God the rufull tombe had bene my royall throne,

So should no kingly charge haue made me make my mone:

O that my soule had flowen to heauen with the ioy,

Whan one sort cryed, God saue the king, another, Viue le Roy.

So had I not bene washt in waues of worldly wo,

My minde to quiet bent, had not bene tossed so:

My frendes had ben aliue: my subiects not opprest:[1152]

But death, or cruell destiny, denied me this rest.
