Loe, this noble duke I brought thus vnto bane, Whose doings I doubted and had in greate dread, At _Banastaire’s_ house I made him to bee tane, And without iudgement be shortned by the head, By the shriue of _Shropshyre_ to _Salisburie_ led, In the market place vpon the scaffolde newe, Where all the beholders did much his death rewe. 30. And after this done I brake vp my hoaste, Greatly applauded with this heauy hap,[1775] And forthwith I sent to euery sea cost, To foresee all mischieues and stop euery gap, Before they shoud chaunce or[1776] light in my lap, Geuing them in charge to haue good regarde The sea cost to keepe, with good watch and warde. 31. Dyrecting my letters vnto euery shriue, With strait commaundement vnder our name, To suffer no man in their partes to aryue, Nor to passe forth out of the same, As they tendred our fauour, and voyde would our blame, Doing therein theyr payne and industry, With diligent care and vigilant eye. 32. And thus setting things in order as you heare, To preuent mischieues that might then betyde, I thought my selfe sure, and out of all feare, And for other things began to prouide: To _Nottingham_ castle straight did I ryde, Where I was not very long space, Straunge tydings came, which did mee sore amaze. 33. Reported it was, and that for certainty, The earle[1777] of _Richmond_ landed was in _Wales_ At _Milford_ hauen, with an huge army, Dismissing his nauy which were many sayles: Which, at the fyrst, I thought flying tales, But in the end did otherwise proue, Which not a little did mee vexe and moue. 34. Thus fauning fortune gan on mee to frowne, And cast on mee her scornfull lowring looke: Then gan I feare the fall of my renowne, My heart it faynted, my sinowes sore they shooke, This heauy hap a scourge for sinne I tooke: Yet did I not then vtterly dispayre, Hoping storms past the weather shoulde bee fayre. 35. And then with all speede possible I might, I caused them muster throughout euery shyre, Determining with the earle spedely to fyght, Before that his power much encreased were, By such as to him great fauour did beare: Which were no small number, by true report made, Dayly repayring him for to ayde. 36.
