xxii.

[Of all these Rebelles raisd against the king]

Of all these Rebelles raisd against the king
It's my strange hap not one whole man to bring:
From diuerse parishes yet diuerse men;
But all in halfes and quarteres: Great king, then,
In halfes and quarteres sith they come gainst Thee,
In halfes and quarteres send them back to mee.
