Nor might that Queene & Kings owne Son escape the Spencers pride,
But, fearing, fled to France, & there as banished abide:
Till thence supplanted, safetie at Henaude they prouide.
Iohn, brother to the Earle, a Knight of Chiualrie the chiefe,
With little, but a luckie band, was shipte for their reliefe.
No sooner had the Zealand ships conuaide their men ashore,
But English Succors daily did increase their Standerds more.
Yeat first the Queene, Prince Edward, and the Nobles humbly craue
Theirs and theirs Countries enemies, but no redresse might haue:
And then Sir Iohn of Henaude shewed himselfe a warrior braue.
The King, his wicked Councellors, his big Vpstarts, and all
Were ouercome: So Spencers both from heauen to hell did fall,
Put to a fowle and shamefull death: with others that misled
The King in Out-rages more great than earst in England bred.
Prolers, Blood-thirstie, Parasites, Make-shifts, & Bawdes did thriue,
Nor was an ancient English Peere vnbanisht or aliue:
Yea forraine and domesticke Swords, Plague, Famine, and Exile,
Did more than tythe, yea tythe of men within this Ile.
Of Baldricks, Hoodes, Tabrides, and Furres, from Knights disgraded tore,
Attaintures of Nobility, and Armes reuersed store,
So many Spurres hewen off the heeles, and Swords broke ouer head,
Were through a King so light and lewd a Councell neuer read.
The King in prison and depos'd, tyrannised, he dide
By Trecheries of Mortimer that ruld the Roste that tide,
Whilst Edward, in Minoritie, his Fathers throne supplide.
