A DESCRIPTION OF A PARDOND, yet still vnrepenting proditor Plexirtus.
When false and proud Plexirtus did conspire,
His King and Lord Leonat to dethrone:
He found the fates were foes to his desire,
At last when all his bastard-hopes were gone,
A halter fair about his hals he tyes,
And on the Prince for pardon still he cryes.

At last when all his bastard-hopes were gone,
A halter fair about his hals he tyes,
And on the Prince for pardon still he cryes.
The Clement King Leonat was contented
To pardon all his faults and foull offences:
And yet we read the Rebell noght repented,
Saue that he could not practize his pretenses:
It's pittie then the Prince can not perceaue,
Plexirtus was, and will be still a knaue.
