For I supposing all things were as I wished, When I had brought these sely[1772] babes to bane, But yet in that my purpose far I missed: For as the moone doth chaunge after the wane, So chaunged the hearts of such as I had tane To bee most true, to troubles did mee tourne: Such rage and rancoure in boyling brests doth[1773] burne. 23. And sodainly a bruit abroade was blowne, That _Buckingham_ the duke, both sterne and stout, In field was ready, with diuers to mee knowne, To giue mee battayle if I durst come out: Which daunted mee and put mee in greate doubt, For that I had no army then prepared: But after that, I litle for it cared. 24. But yet remembring, that oft a litle sparke Suffred doth growe vnto a greate flame, I thought it wisdome wisly for to warke, Mustred then men in euery place I came: And marched forward dayly with the same, Directly towards the towne of _Salisbury_, Where I gat knowledge of the duke’s army. 25. And as I passed ouer _Salisburie_ downe, The rumour ran the duke was fled and gone, His hoast dispersed besides _Shrewesbury_ towne, And hee dismaied was left there post alone, Bewailing his chaunce and making great mone: Towards whome I hasted with all expedition, Making due search and diligent inquisition. 26. But at the fyrst I could not of him heare, For hee was scaped by secrete bywayes, Unto the house of _Humfrey Banastaire_, Whome hee had much preferred in his dayes, And was good lorde to him, in all assaies: Which hee full ill[1774] requited in the end, When hee was driuen to seeke a trusty frend. 27. For so it happened to his mishap, alas, When I no knowledge of the duke could heare: A proclamation, by my commaundement, was Published and cryed throughout euery shyre, That whoso could tell where the duke were, A thousand marke shoulde haue for his payne: What thing so hard but mony can obtayne? 28. But were it for mony, meede, or dreede, That _Banastaire_ thus betrayed his ghest, Diuers haue diuersly deuined of this deede, Some deeme the worst, and some iudge the best, The doubt not dissolued, nor playnly exprest: But of the duke’s death hee doubtless was cause, Which dyed without iudgement, or order of lawes. 29.
