Now hath our King Sir Andrew’s ship,
Beset with pearles and precyous stones;
And now hath England two ships of war,
Two ships of war, before but one.
LXXV
‘Who holpe to this?’ says King Henrye,
‘That I may reward him for his paine.’—
‘Henery Hunt, and Peter Simon,
William Horsley, and I the same.’—
LXXVI
‘Harry Hunt shall have his whistle and chaine,
And all his jewels whatsoe’er they be,
And other rich gifts that I will not name,
For his good service he hath done me.
LXXVII
‘Horsley, right thou’st be a knight,
Lands and livings thou shalt have store;
Howard shall be Earl of Nottingham,
And so was never Howard before.
LXXVIII
‘Now, Peter Simon, thou art old;
I will maintaine thee and thy son;
Thou shalt have five hundred pound all in gold
For the good service that thou hast done.’
