Her angrie arrowes euery way do flie, Thousands on either hand in death do fall: But happie they in blessed peace to die, Not left with vs to liue, when death did call, To see blood-thirstie warre the worst of all: That vniuersall flood of woes powre downe In seas of blood, this wretched land to drowne. 46. In midst of these extreames with griefe cast downe, The measure of our miserie to fill, My stubborne peers take armes, and proudly frowne, Threatning in rage that little left to spill, If basely I submit not to their will: And exile those, whom they themselues did place In stead of _Gaueston_ t’attend our grace. 47. He that in bosome of a prince doth dwell, And by endeuour seekes to gaine his grace, Though for his seruice he deserue it well: Yet as the deere pursu’d from place to place, The enuious dog will haue him still in chase: Danger in chiefest safetie it doth bring, To seeme to be familiar with a king. 48. _Spenser_, the man, on whom at first I frown’d, Whom they preferr’d, my _Gaueston_ being dead, Was he, whom they pretend to be the ground Of all their griefe, gainst him they now made head, He was of vs too highly fauoured: Him must we banish, so they thinke it fit, If on our throne in safetie we will sit. 49. _William de Brewse_ in selling _Gower’s_ land To yonger _Spenser_ from the other peeres, Who would haue brought the same at _Brewse’s_ hand, First blew the coles, whence now that flame appeares, Which had been hid in anger many yeares: This is the cause of their conceiued ire, For this in armes gainst me they do conspire. 50. Disloyall _Lancaster_, that did conduct The rebels to the field, by letters sent With termes vnfit his soueraigne will instruct, Assigning daies, within whose termament, I should reforme such things in gouernment, Which he mislikes, thus adding to that fire, Which did at length consume him in our ire. 51. This fire yet burning in our royall brest, The queene doth with complaint her wrongs prefer, That in her progresse after long vnrest, Our late false steward lord _Badelismere_, Confederate with rebellious _Lancaster_, Vnkindly had deni’d in my despight, Her lodging in Leeds castle for a night. 52.
