❧ A breefe balet touching the traytorous takynge of Scarborow Castell . OH valiaunt inuaders gallantꝭ gaie . Who , with your compeeres conqueringe the route , Castels or towrs : all standynge in your waie , Ye take , controlling all estates most stoute . Yet had it now bene good to looke aboute . 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 : 〈◊〉 ●aue let alone , And take scarborow warnynge euerichone . By Scarborow castell , not Scarborow : I onely meane : but further vnderstande , Eche Hauene , eche hold , or other harborow , That our good Kyng and Queene do holde in hande : As dewe obedience bindth vs in bande . Their Scarborow castels to let alone , And take Scarborow warningꝭ euerychone . The s●alers of which castells euermore , In bookes of olde , and in our eyes of new : Haue alway lost them selues and theirs therfore . All this ye did forget : in time to vew . Which myght haue wrought both you and yours teschew : Lettyng Scarborow castel now alone , Takyng Scarborow warnyng euerychone . This Scarborow castell , symplie standyng : Yet could that castell slyly you begyle , Ye thought ye tooke the castell : at your landyng : The castell takyng you : in the selfe whyle . Eche stone within the castell wall did smyle , That Scarborow castell ye let not alone , And tooke Scarborow warnyng euerychone . Your puttyng now in vre your dyuylishe dreame , Hath made you see ( and lyke enough to feele ) A fewe false traytours can not wynne a reame , Good subiectes be ( and will be ) trew as steele . To stand with you , the ende they lyke no deele . Scarborow castels they can lette alone , And take Scarborow warnyngꝭ euerychone . They know godis law : tobey their Kyng and Queene . Not take from them : but kepe for them their owne . And geue to them : when such traytours are seene As ye are now : to brynge all ouerthrowne : They woorke your ouerthrow , by godis power growne . God saith : let Scarborow castell alone , Take Scarborow warnyng euerychone . To late for you , and in time for the rest Of your most traytorous sect ( if any bee ) You all are spectacles at full witnest : As other weare to you : treason to flee . Which in you past , yet may the rest of yee : The saide Scarborow castells let alone , And take Scarborow warnyngꝭ euerychone . This terme Scarborow warnyng , grew ( some say ) ▪ By hasty hangyng , for rank robbry theare . Who that was met , but suspect in that way , Streight was he trust vp : what euer he weare . Wherupon theeues thynkyng good to forbeare , Scarborow Robbyng they let that alone , And tooke Scarborow warnyng euerychone . If Robbyng in that way , bred hangyng so , By theft to take , way , towne , castell and all , What Scarborow hangyng craueth this ●o ? Weare your selues herein Iudges capitall : I thinke your Iudgementes on these woordis must fall . Scarborow Robbyng who letth not alone , Scarborow hangyng deserue euerychone . We wold to god that you ( and al of yow ) Had but considered : as wel as ye knew : The end of all traytorie , as you see it now , Long to haue liued , louyng subiectes trew . Alas : your losse we not reioyse , but rew . That Scarborow castell ye leete not alone , And tooke Scarborow warnyng euerychone . To craftis that euer thryue , wyse men euer cleaue . To crafts that seeld when thryue , wyse men seeld when flee . The crafts that neuer thryue , a foole can learne to leaue . This thriftles crafty crafte then clere leaue we . One God , one Kynge , one Queene , serue franke and free . Their Scarborow castell let it alone , Take we Scarborow warning euerichone . Our soueraigne lord : and soueraigne lady both . Lawde we our lorde , for their prosperitee . Beseching him for it : as it now goth , And to this daie hath gone , that it may bee : Continued so , in perpetuitee . We lettyng theyr Scarborow castells alone , Takyng Scarborow warnings euerychone , Finisque I. Heywood .
