Of the murther of Davies.

94. I would have wisht some other had him stroke,
And in a place more farther from my sight,
Or for his right arraigned he had spoke,
Or of his death some other sense had light.

95. A Princes presence should a pardon bee,
A ladyes shout should moue a manly mynde,
A childwifes chamber should from bloud be free,
A wife by husband should not slaunder finde.

101. To disvnite their league I went about,
For cables crack like threds when they vntuist.
