Woe to the wretched people of this land,

Which do their soueraigne lord and king forsake:

Woe to your selues, that for your king should stand,

Of whom a scorne vnto the world ye make:

And woe vnto your children for your sake:

Yea, woe to England euermore shall be,

Vnlesse with speed ye seeke some remedie.
