When Armour ended Auarice began (for then begins
The slye Mercurilest, and more by wyles then valour wins.)
Beneuolences, Taxes and sore Fines for penall lawes,
To Henry hoords, from Henry hearts of many a Subiects drawes.
Empson and Dudley (fur'd Esquiers, more harmefull being gown'd,
To Englands friends than Englands foe, through Auarice profound)
In such exacting chiefly Act, applaused of the King,
To whom their ciuill Thefts, not Thrifts, exceeding wealth did bring.
Yeat whē the gracious King found out their racking Rich and Poore,
He then did pardon much, and much did purpose to restore,
But, dying, those two Harptes lost their hated heads therefore.
So hardly fauoured of Kings themselues in bownes containe,
That they, securely stout, at length doe perish through disdaine.
So hardly to some Princes are from priuate Lucar wonne,
As, though their bags ore-flow, they thinke no harme abroad vndone,

Deceast for Prowesse, Policie, and Iustice highly famed.
