When many were brought out of Ireland and other parts with halters about their neckes, she sent them into Spaine at her owne charge.
The baser sort, though made her people’s scorne,
Yet of her bountie she from death did spare,
The better sort as her owne liege-men borne,
All common benefits did freely share,
And tooke the solace of the open aire,
Whom she, though subiects of a mightie foe,
To his disgrace triumphing did not show.
