In the ruefull[73] register of mischiefe and mishap,
Baldwine we beseech thee with our names to begin,
Whom vnfriendly fortune did trayn vnto a trap,
When wee[74] thought our state most stable to haue bin:
So lightely leese they all, which all do weene to win:
Learne by vs ye laweyers and judges of this land,[75]
Vpright and vncorrupt[76] in dome alway to stand.
