I was sometime a prince withouten peere,
When Edward fift began his rufull raigne,
Ay me, then I began that hatefull yeere,
To compasse that which I haue bought so deere:
I bare the swinge, I and that wretched wight
The duke of Glocester, that Richard hight.
9.
For when the fates had reft that royall prince
Edward the fourth, cheife miroure of that name,
The duke and I, fast ioyned euer since
