A new Ballad , declaring the great Treason conspired against the young King of Scots , and how one Andrew Browne an Englishman , which was the Kings Chamberlaine , preuented the same . To the tune of Milfield , or els to Greenesleeues . JEsus God what a griefe is this , that Princes subiects cannot be true : But still the Deuill hath some of his , will play their parts whatsoeuer ensue . Forgetting what a greeuous thing , It is to offend the annointed Kinge : Alas for woe , why should it be so , This makes a sorowfull heigh ho. In Scotland is a bonie Kinge , as proper a youthe as néede to be : Well giuen to euery happy thing , that can be in a Kinge to sée . Yet that vnluckie countrie still , Hath people giuen to craftie will , Alas for woe , &c. On Whitson Eue it so befell , a Posset was made to giue the Kinge : Whereof his Ladie Nurse hard tell , and that it was a poysoned thing . She cryed and called piteouslie : Now helpe or els the King shall die . Alas for woe , &c. One Browne that was an English man , and hard the Ladies piteous crye : Out with his Sword , and besturd him than , out of the doores in haste to flie . But all the doores were made so fast , Out of a window he got at last . Alas for woe , &c. He met the Bishop comming fast , hauing the Posset in his hande : The sight of Browne made him agast , who bad him stoutly staie and stand . With him were two that ranne away , For feare that Browne would make a fray . Alas for woe , &c. Bishop quoth Browne what hast thou there , nothing at all my fréend sayde he : But a Posset to make the King good chéere , is it so sayd Browne , that will I sée , First I will haue thy selfe begin , Before thou goe any further in , Be it weale or woe it shall be so , This makes a sorrowfull heigh ho. The Bishop saide , Browne I doo know , thou art a young man poore and bare : Liuings on thée I will bestowe , let me go on take thou no care . No no quoth Browne I will not be A Traitour for all Christiantie , Happe well or woe , it shall not be so , Drinke now with a sorrowfull heigh ho ▪ The Bishop dranke , and by and by , his belly burst and he fell downe : A iust reward for his traytery , this was a Posset in déede quoth Browne , He serched the Bishop and found the keyes , To come to the King when he did please , Alas for woe , &c. As soone as the King gat word of this , he humbly fell vppon his knee : And praysed God that he did misse , to tast of that extremity . For that he did perceaue and know , His Clergie would betray him so : Alas for woe , &c. Alas he said vnhappy Realme , my Father and Godfather slaine : My Mother banished O extreame , vnhappy fate and bitter bayne . And now like Treason wrought for me , What more vnhappy Realme can be . Alas for woe , &c. The King did call his Nurse to his grace , and gaue her twentie pound a yeere : And trustie Browne to in like case , he Knighted him with gallant géere ▪ And gaue him liuings great , For dooing such a manly feat : As he did shoe , to the Bishops woe , which made , &c. When all this Treason don and past , tooke not effect of Traytery : Another Treason at the last , they sought against his Maiestie . How they might make their Kinge away : By a priuie banket on a daye . Alas for woe , &c. Wherat they ment to sell the King , beyonde the seas it was decreede ▪ Three noble Earles heard of this thing , and did preuent the same with speede . For a Letter came , with such a charme , That they should doo theyr King no harme : For further woe , if they did so , Which made a sorrowfull heigh hoe . The Earle Mourton , told the Douglas then , take héede you doo not offend the Kinge : But shew your selues like honest men , obediently in euery thing . For his Godmother will not see , Her noble Childe misusde to be . With any woe , for if it be so : She will make a sorrowfull heigh ho. God graunt all subiects , may be true , in England , Scotland , and euerie where : That no such daunger may ensue , to put the Prince or state in feare . That God the highest King may sée , Obedience as it ought to be . In wealth or woe , God graunt it be so , To auoide the sorrowfull heigh ho. W. Elderton . FINIS .
