Well, he is gone, and with him go these thoughts, Now for the rebels which stand out in Ireland, Exped en manage must be made my liege, Ere further leisure yield them further means. For their advantage and your highness lose. God save your majesty, and well met Gentlemen, I hope the King is not yet shipped for Ireland. That he our hope might have retired his power, And driven into despair and enemies hope, Who strong'y hath set footing in this land, The banished Bullingbrook repeals himself, And with uplifted arms is safe ariude at Ravenspurgh. Ah Madam! 'tis too true, and that is worse: The lord Northumberland, his son young H. Percy, The lords of Rose, Beaumond, and Willoughby, With all their powerful friends are fled to him. We have, whereupon the earl of Worces er Hath brok n his Staff, resigned his Stewardship, And all the household servants sled with him to Bullingbrook Here comes the Duke of York. My comfort is, that heaven will take our souls, And plague injustice with the pains of hell. Beside our nearness to the King in love, Is near the hate of those love not the King. Well I will for refuge straight to Brist, Castle, The Earl of Wiltshire is already there. Alas poor Duke the task he undertakes, Is numbering sands, and drinking Ocean's dry, Where one on his side fights, thousands will fly: Farewell at once, for once, for all, and ever.
