The king upon these words More heedfully beheld them, Till a crimson blush His conceit did cross. "The more I look," quoth he, 205 "Upon thy wife and children, The more I call to mind My daughter whom I lost." "I am that Child," quoth she, Falling on her knee; 210 "Pardon me my soveraign liege!" The king perceiving this His daughter dear did kiss, Till joyful tears did stop his speech. With his train he turn[e']d, 215 And with her sojourn[e']d; Straight he dubb'd her husband knight; He made him Earl of Flanders, One of his chief commanders;-- Thus was their sorrow put to flight. 220 12, Took. 30, to court. 109, from _Old Ballads_, 1723. 169-174. "This will remind the reader of the livery and device of Charles Brandon, a private gentleman, who married the Queen Dowager of France, sister of Henry VIII. At a tournament which he held at his wedding, the trappings of his horse were half cloth of gold, and half frieze, with the following motto: 'Cloth of Gold, do not despise, Tho' thou art matcht with Cloth of Frize; Cloth of Frize, be not too bold, Tho' thou art matcht with Cloth of Gold.' See Sir W. Temple's Misc. vol. iii. p. 356." PERCY. 178, king he coming. CONSTANCE OF CLEVELAND. From Collier's _Book of Roxburghe Ballads_, p. 163. "This romantic ballad, in a somewhat plain and unpretending style, relates incidents that may remind the reader of the old story of Titus and Gisippus, which was told in English verse by Edw. Lewicke, as early as 1562: the ballad is not so ancient by, perhaps, thirty or forty years; and the printed copy that has come down to our day is at least fifty years more recent than the date when we believe the ballad to have been first published. The title the broadside ('Printed for F. Coles, J. W., T. Vere, W. Gilbertson,') bears is, '_Constance of Cleveland: A very excellent Sonnet of the most fair Lady Constance of Cleveland, and her disloyal Knight_.' We conclude that the incidents are mere invention, but _Constance of Rome_ is the name of a play, by Drayton, Munday and Hathway, mentioned in Henslowe's Diary under the year 1600, (p. 171.) The tune of _Crimson Velvet_ was highly popular in the reigns of Elizabeth and her successor." To the Tune of _Crimson Velvet_.
