Whereunto is annexed Tychbornes lamentation , written in the Towre with his owne hand , and an aunswere to the same .

LONDON Printed by Iohn Wolfe . 1586.

VERSES OF PRAISE , AND IOY , Written vpon her Maiestie , after the apprehension and execution of Babington , Tychborne , Salisburie , & the rest . MOngst spyny cares sprong vp now at the last , sprowt higher then the hautiest of their heads : That with thy Roselike Royal peace ( O Prince ) all other princes thou must ouer-peere . Thee and thy Realme opprest it happ'ly pleasd our highest God in safety to preserue . For this , thy people publikely applaude , and euery where aboundeth godly loue . Good f●rtune and an euerlasting fame attend on th●e in all thine actions . This makes thy friends , this makes thy foes admire , and daily hold thy name in reuerence . Honour'd art , Princely behauiour , zeale to good , and with thee rest a Royall maiestie . These foure faire giftes ( O Prince , of right renound ) thy Princely minde most Princely Ente●teignes . Liue Soueraigne Ladie , Liue Elizabeth health of thy Countrey , helpe to all our harmes . Seeld seen , thou Reign'st a maiden & a Queene , Long maist thou liue , and heauen be thy home .
Tychbornes Elegie , writen with his owne hand in the Tower before his execution . MY prime of youth is but a frost of cares , my feast of ioy is but a dish of paine : My Crop of corne is but a field of tares , and al my good is but vaine hope of gaine The day is past , and yet I saw no sunne , And now I liue , and now my life is done . My tale was heard , and yet it was not told , my fruite is falne , & yet my leaues are greene : My youth is spent , and yet I am not old , I saw the world , and yet I was not seene . My thred is cut , and yet it is not spunne , And now I liue , and now my life is done . I sought my death , and found it in my wombe , I lookt for life , and saw it was a shade : I trod the earth , and knew it was my Tombe , and now I die , and now I was but made . My glasse is full , and now my glasse is runne , And now I liue , and now my life is done .
Hendecasyllabon T. K. in Cygneam Cantionem Chidiochi Tychborne . THy prime of youth is frozen with thy faults , thy feast of ioy is finisht with thy fall : Thy crop of corne is tares auailing naughts , thy good God knowes , thy hope , thy hap and all Short were thy daies , and shadowed was thy sun T'obscure thy light vnluckelie begun . Time trieth trueth , & trueth hath treason tript , thy faith bare fruit as thou hadst faithles beene : Thy ill spent youth shine after yeares hath nipt , and God that saw thee hath preserude our Que 〈…〉 Her thred still holds , thine perisht though vnspun , And she shall liue when traitors liues are done . Thou soughtst thy death , and found it in desert , thou look'dst for life , yet lewdlie forc'd it fade : Thou trodst the earth , and now on earth thou art , as men may wish thou neuer hadst beene made . Thy glorie and thy glasse are timeles runne , And this , O Tychborne , hath thy treason done .
In nefariam Babingtoni caeterorumque coniurationem , Hexasticon . Quid non Papa ruens spondet , modo iussa capessas ? en diadema tibi , sceptráque , pactus Hymen . Dissimilem votis mercedem nacta , sed ausis ▪ & sceleri retulit turba nefanda parem . Successere regi regno , coruoque coronae , pro sceptro laqueus , pro thalamo tumulus .
The same in englishe . The Pope to prop his ruinous state , doth golden proffers make : Crowne , scepter , roiall marriage bed , to those his part that take . The traytrous crew late reapt reward ▪ not fitting their desire : But as their purpose bloody was , so shamefull was their hire . For Chaire of state , a stage of shame , and crowes for crownes they haue : Their scepter to a halter changde , their bed become their graue .
Ad Serenissimam Reginam Elizabetham , Apostrophe . Regna , viue , vale , mundi , patriae , atque tuorum , splendida , sola , vigens , gloria , vita , salus . In te speramus , per te spiramus ouantes : det spirare tibi saecula multa Deus . Pro te dulce mori , nisi pro te viuere durum ▪ at sine te mors est viuere , vita mori .
The same in englishe . Raigne , liue , and blisfull dayes enioy , thou shining lampe of th' earth : The only life of countries state , thy subiects health and mirth . On thee we ground our hope , through thee we draw our breath with ioy : God graunt thee long amongst vs breathe , God shield thee from annoy . To die for thee were sweete , to liue were wretched but for thee . Without thee , death a second life , life double death should be .
