The dukes two, of _Excester_, and _Buckingham_, With the marquise _Dorset_ therein did agree, But namely the marquise of _Suffolke_, _William_, Contriuer chiefe of this conspiracy, With other moe, that sate still and did see Theyr mortall foes on mee to whet theyr kniues, Which turnde at last to losse of all theyr liues. 52. But vayne desire of soueraynty and rule, Which otherwise (ambition) hath to name, So stird the queene, that wilfull as a mule, Headlong she runnes from smoke into the flame, Driuing a drift, which after did so frame, As shee, the king, with all theyr line and race, Depriued were of honour, life, and place. 53. So for purpose shee thought it very good, With former foes in frendship to confeder, The duke of _Yorke_, and other of his bloud, With _Neuills_ all, knit were then altogether, And _Delapoole_, friend afore to neither: The cardinall also came within this list, As Herode and Pilate to iudge Ihesus Christ. 54. This cursed league too late discouered was By bayardes blinde, that linked in the line, The queene and cardinall brought it so to passe, With marquise _Suffolke_ maister of this myne, Whose ill aduise was counted very fine, With other moe which finely could disguise, With false visours my mischiefe to deuise. 55. Concluding thus, they poynt without delay Parliament to holde, in some vnhaunted place, Far from _London_, out of the common way, Where few or none should vnderstand the case, But whom the queene and cardinall did embrace: And so for place they chose Saint _Edmondsbury_, Since when (some say) _England_ was neuer mery. 56. Somens was sent this company to call, Which made mee muse, that in so great a case I should no whit of counsayle bee at all, Who yet had rule, and next the king in place, Me thought nothing my state could more disgrace Then to beare name, and in effect to bee A cypher in algrim, as all men mought see. 57. And though iust cause I had for to suspect The time and place apoynted by my foes, And that my friendes most playnly did detect The subtil trayne, and practise of all those Which agaynst mee great treasons did suppose: Yet trust of truth with a conscience cleare Gaue mee good heart in that place to appeare. 58.
