Went Yniol through the town, and everywhere
He found the sack and plunder of our house
All scatter’d through the houses of the town; 695
And gave command that all which once was ours
Should now be ours again: and yester-eve,
While you were talking sweetly with your Prince,
Came one with this and laid it in my hand,
For love or fear, or seeking favour of us, 700
Because we have our Earldom back again.
And yester-eve I would not tell you of it,
