		Now lyk a Lorde this fellow stere can
		The lawe to defend without a fall
		For all theyr pledgyng in Westminster hall,
		Or lay what they wyll and bable there
		yet mayntenaunce and I wyll kepe the chere
		If it come once to the countree
		Then as I wyll so shall it bee
		A very cause syrs why I hyde my name
		Was, they shuld not suspect my fame
		Because I wolde spy all theyr intent
		To chaunge theyr purpose after my iudgement
		And so wyll I do, for thys is theyr pretence
		By meane of Justice to brynge in experyence
		That peace shuld continew the people amonge
		And so by that meane to banysh mee wronge
		But trust me syrs I wyll none of that
		But rather by theyr faces I wyll them scrat
		And mee to mayntain in this opynion
		I haue an olde mate called Dyuycion
		That shalbe of my counsayle in thys case
		Whych I trust wyll not turne hys face
		Tyll Peace be dryuen clene from Albyon
		And then let Justyce and mee alone
		For I trust or he and I haue done
		He shall go whystle in a mary bone
		As for any ryghtfull iudgement
		That after this shall folow hys intent
		And now syrs will I goo my waye
		My felow to seke, fynde him if I may
		Here iniury goeth out, & then Diuilion cometh,
		in with a byll, a sword, a buckler, & a dagger.
		¶Haue in the ruske
		Out of the buske
		A lustye Captayne,
