Upon which trust with more haste then good speede, Forward I went to that vnlucky place Duty to show, and no whit was in dread Of any trayne, but bold to shew my face As a true man, yet so fel out the case That after trauayle seeking for repose, An armed band my lodging did enclose. 59. The vicount _Beaumont_, who for the time supplyed The office of high constable of the land, Was with the queene and cardinall allied, By whose support hee stoutly tooke in hand My lodging to entre with an armed band, And for high treason my person did arest, And layde mee that night where him seemed best. 60. Then shaking and quaking, for dread of a dreame, Halfe waked, all naked, in bed as I lay, What time strake the chime of mine houre extreame, Opprest was my rest with mortall affray, My foes did vnclose, I know not which way, My chambre dores, and boldly they in brake, And had mee fast before I could awake.[727] 61. Thou lookest now, that of my secret murther, I should at large the maner how declare, I pray thee, _Baldwine_, aske of me no further, For speaking playne, it came so at vnware, As I my selfe, which caught was in the snare, Scarcely am able the circumstaunce to shew, Which was kept close, and knowne but vnto fewe. 62. But bee thou sure by violence it was, And no whit bred by sicknes or disease, That felt it well before my life did passe, For when these wolues my body once did cease, Used I was but smally to mine ease, With torments strong which went so nere the quicke, As made mee dye before that I was sicke. 63. A palsey (they sayd) my vital spirites opprest, Bred by excesse of melancholie black, This for excuse to lay, them seemed best, Least my true friendes the cause might furder racke, And so perhaps discouer the whole packe Of the conspirers,[728] whom they might well suspect For causes great, which after tooke effect. 64. Dead was I found by such as best did know The maner how the same was brought to passe, And then my corps was set out for a show, By view whereof nothing perceiued was:[729] Whereby the worlde may see as in a glasse, Th’vnsure[730] state of them that stand most hye, Which than dread least, when daunger is most nye. 65.
