They in their hard hearts feeling no remorce,

To heare poore soules powre forth such pitious mones,

Holding the pillowes downe do stop our breath,

Vntill we both giue vp the ghost in death.

King Edward’s fruit did perish in the bud,

By which since we may see how pride prepares

Her passage through the spoile of common good,
