O righteous heau’ns, if ye haue powre t’oppose

Fraile man’s vnrighteous thoughts in euery thing:

Then suffer not, ah suffer not my foes

Thus to go on, that are about to bring

Such wofull tidings to a wretched king:

In thrall though I abide, this grace yet giue,

That I at least a captiue king may liue.
