A Newe Ballade . O Dere Lady Elysabeth , which art our right and vertous Quene God hath endued the with mercy & fayth , as by thy workes it may be sene Wherefore good Quene I counsayle thee , Lady Lady . For to beware of the spiritualtie most dere Lady . Haue you not rede of your progenitours , which was before you many a yere How they endured many sharpe showers , as by the cronicles it doth appere And many of them came to euell hap , lady lady , And all was through the forked cap most dere Lady . Haue you nat rede of Wyllyam Rufus the second kyng hereof that name How he was slayne moste maruelous , all through the curssed seede of caine . Tyrell kyllede hym with an arrowe , Lady lady Yet som men sayed he shot at a sparow moste dere Lady . Haue you not rede of good Kyng Iohn , how by them he was vndone The Bishop of Canterbury the wicked man , accused him to the court of Rome They enterdyted his lande as the cronicle sayeth , Lady Lady . A monke poysoned him to his death , moste dere Lady . Haue you not rede of the second Richard , who was the black princes sonne How they handled him full hard , and famished him til lyfe was donne In Powles they made him a funerall Lady Lady , To blinde the peoples eyes withall , mooste dere Lady . Haue you not rede of the sixt Henry which was a good and a simple man The Cardinall of Wynchester truly , made him lose , that hys father wanne The good Protector his vncle dere , Lady Lady , The priestes kept war with him a longe yere moste dere Lady . Then came your father , King Henry the .viii. which was a prince of victory And he deposed them all straight , when he had spyed their Idolatry If this be trewe as trewe it was , Lady , Lady , God graunt your grace may do no lesse most dere Lady . Then came your brother king Edward , which was a good & vertuous child And to gods word he had regarde , but the wicked priestes hath hym begilde And raysed vp trentalles in euery place , Lady Lady , And some of them preached agaynst his grace most dere Lady , Then came your syster quene Mary , & for fiue yeres that she did rayne , All that was done Edward and Hary , her wicked priestes made it but vaine They brought in agayne the Romyshe lore , Lady Lady , Whiche was banished longe before , moste dere Lady . Then God sent vs your noble grace , as in dede it was highe tyme Whiche dothe all popery cleane deface , and set vs forth Gods trewe deuine For whome we are all bound to praye Lady Lady , Longe life to raigne bothe night and day , moste dere Ladye .
