But all for nought, so long as I bare stroke, Serued these driftes, and proued all but[902] vayne: The best help then, was people[903] to prouoke, To make commocion and vprores amayne: Which to appease the king himselfe was fayne, From _Blacke-heath_ in _Kent_ to send mee to the towre: Such was the force of rebelles in[904] that howre. 28. The tempest yet[905] therewith was not ceased, For _Yorke_ was bent his purpose to pursue, Who seing how soone[906] I was released, And ill successe of sufferaunce to ensue: Then like Iudas[907] vnto his Lord untrue, Esteeming time[908] lost any[909] longer to defarre, By _Warwicke’s_ ayde proclaymed open warre. 29. At _S. Albane’s_ towne both our hoastes did mete, Which to try a field was no equall place, Forst wee were to fight in euery lane and strete, No feare of foes could make mee shun the place:[910] There I and _Warwicke_, fronted face to face, At an inne dore, the castle was the signe, Where with a sword was cut my fatall lyne. 30. Oft was I warned to come in castle none, Hauing no mistrust of[911] any common signe, I did imagine a castle built with stone, For of no inne I could the same deuine: In prophet’s skill my wit was neuer fyne, A foole is hee that such vaine dreames doth dred, And more foole of both that[912] will by them bee led. 31. My life I lost in that vnlucky place, With many lordes that leaned to my parte: The earle[913] _Percy_ had no better grace, _Clyfford_ for all his courage could not[914] shun the dart,[915] _Buckingham’s_ heyr was at this mortall mart,[916] _Babthorp_ the attourney[917] for all his skill in lawe, In this poynt of pleading appeared very[918] rawe.[919] 32. So poore king _Henry_, disarmed[920] of his bandes, His friends slayne, wanting all[921] assistence,[922] Was made a pray vnto his enemie’s handes, Priued[923] of power and princely reuerence, And as a pupyll voyde of all experience, Innocent playne, and symply witted, Was as a lambe vnto the wolfe committed. 33. A parliament then was called with speede, A parliament? nay, a playne conspiracy, When against right it was decreede,[924] That after the death of the sixt _Henry_, _Yorke_ should succede vnto the regalty,[925] And in this life the charge, and protection Of king and realme, at the duke’s direction.[926] 34.
