Loe, Bessus, hee that armde with murdrer’s[1585] knife,
And traytrous[1586] heart agaynst his royall king,
With bloudy hands bereft his maister’s life,
Aduert the fine his foule offence did bring:
And lothing murder as most lothly thing,
Behold in him the iust deserued fall
That euer hath, and shall betyde them all.
