I thought, that while this noble king had breath,

His friends my brother’s peace would still inuade:

Wherefore I did contriue his sudden death,

And in the Tower the butcher’s part I plaide,

For th’hatefull point of that same bloodie blade,

Scarce cold with luke-warm blood of his owne sonne,

Vnlooked for, I through his sides did runne.

17.

He dead, the battels fought in field before,

Were turn’d to meetings of sweet amitie,
