I am now constrayned, With wordes nothynge fayned, This inuectiue to make, For some peoples[725] sake That lyst for to iangyll And waywardly to wrangyll Agaynst this my makynge, Their males therat shakynge, At it reprehending, And venemously stingynge, 10 Rebukynge and remordyng, And nothing according. Cause haue they[726] none other, But for that he was brother,[727] Brother vnnatural Vnto our kynge royall, Against whom he dyd fighte[728] Falsly agaynst all ryght, Lyke that vntrue rebell Fals Kayn agaynst Abell. 20 Who so[729] therat pyketh mood, The tokens are not good To be true Englysh blood; For, yf they vnderstood His traytourly dispyght, He was a recrayed knyght, A subtyll sysmatyke, Ryght nere an heretyke, Of grace out of the state, And died excomunycate. 30 And for he was a kynge, The more shamefull rekenynge Of hym should men report, In ernest and in sport. He skantly loueth our kynge, That grudgeth at this thing: That cast such ouerthwartes Percase haue hollow hartes. _Si veritatem dico, quare non creditis mihi?_ [724] _this_] So other eds.
