A warning to London by the fall of Antwerp To the tune of Row wel ye Mariners .

THe sturdy Oke at length ▪ When forse doth fail though nere so tall : Resigneth vp his strength , By boistrous blasts vnto the fal . The stately Stag in time dooth yeeld : Him self a pray to Dogs in feeld . The Pecock proud , the swelling Swan : At last dooth serue the vse of man . Pride , pomp , plumes gay : Must haue a fall who ere say nay , Hye mindes , state , power : Shall come to end within an houre . Let Antwerp warning be , thou stately London to beware : Lest resting in thy glee , thou wrapst thy self in wretched care Be vigilant , sleepe not in sin : Lest that thy foe doo enter in . Keep sure thy trench , prepare thy shot : Watch wel , so shall no foil be got . Stand fast , play thy parte : Quail not but shew an english hart , Dout , dread , stil fear : For Antwerps plague approcheth neer . Leaue tearing of thy God , let vain excesse be laid aside : Els shalt thou feel the rod , prepared for to scouge thy pride . Forsake thy Deuilish drunken trade : Which almoste hath the entrance made . Erect your walles giue out your charge Keep wel your ray , run not at large . Faint not , fiercely fight : Shrink not but keep your contries right . Stand stout , on Iesus call : And he no dout wil help you all . Trust not a ciuil foe , Which vnder coulour wisheth good : For ere thy self doost knowe , by craft he seeks to haue thy blood . The Snake in grasse doth groueling lie : Til for reuenge due time he spie . The leering Dog doth bite more sore : Then he that warning giues before . Fine flattery , fair face : Much discorde breeds in euery place . Fire , shot , must be to hot : For those which haue their God forgot . Reioyce not if thou see , thy neighbours house set on a flame : For like thy luck may be , vnlesse thou wel preuent the same . The scourge which late on Antwerp fel : Thy wrack and ruine dooth foretel . Make not a gibing iest therat : Lest stately Troy be beaten flat . Pray God faithfully : To saue vs from all trechery . Dout not if we doo so : We shall escape the forain fo. Pray we with one accorde , that God our Queene may ay defend : From those which seek by swoord ▪ to bring her graces reign to end . Cut of ( O Lord ) their deuilish dayes : And graunt her life thy name to praise . Garde her with grace her Champion be That she may gain the victory . Hope wel , pray stil : God is our guide we feare none il . Fear not , watch pray : God sheeld this Citie from decay . AMEN . qd . Rafe Norris .
