Therefore was I first[887] whome they put out of place[888] No cause pretending but the common weale, The crown of _England_ was the very case, Why to the commons they burned so in zeale: My faultes were cloakes theyr practise to conceale, In counsayle hearing consider the intent, For in[889] pretence of truth treason oft is ment. 21. So theyr pretence was only to remoue Counsayle corrupt from place about the king: But, O ye princes, you it doth behoue This case to construe as no fayned thing, That neuer traytour did subdue his king, But for his plat, ere hee could[890] furder wade, Against his friendes the quarell first hee made. 22. And if by hap hee could so bring about, Them to subdue at his owne wish and will,[891] Then would hee waxe so arrogant, and stout, That no reason his outrage might fulfill But to proceede vpon his purpose still, Til king and counsayle brought were in one case: Such is theyr folly to rebells to[892] gieue place.[893] 23. So for the fish casting forth a net,[894] The next poynt was in driuing out the plat,[895] Commons to cause in rage to fume and fret,[896] And to rebell, I cannot tell for what, Requiring redresse of this, and of that: Who if they speede, the stander at[897] receyt Grasp will the pray, for which hee doth awayt.[898] 24. Then by surmise of some thing pretended, Such to displace as they may well suspect, Like to withstand theyr mischiefe[899] entended, And in theyr roumes theyr banders to elect, The aduerse party prowdly to reiect, And then with reportes the simple to abuse, And when these helpes fayle, open force to vse. 25. So this duke’s traynes were couert and not seene, Which ment no lesse, that hee[900] most pretended, Like to a serpent couert[901] vnder greene, To the weale publique seemed wholy bended: Zelous he was, and would haue all thinges mended, But by that mendment nothing els hee ment But to bee king, to that marke was his bent. 26. For had hee beene playne, as hee ment indeede, _Henry_ to depose from the royall place, His hast had beene waste, and much worse his speede, The king then standing in his people’s grace: This duke therefore set forth a goodly face, As one that ment no quarrell for the crowne, Such as bare rule hee only would put downe. 27.
