Vaux.

To signifie vnto his Maiesty,

That Cardinall Beauford is at point of death:

For sodainly a greeuous sicknesse tooke him,

That makes him gaspe, and stare, and catch the aire,

Blaspheming God, and cursing men on earth.

Sometime he talkes, as if Duke Humfries Ghost

Were by his side: Sometime, he calles the King,

And whispers to his pillow, as to him,

The secrets of his ouer‑charged soule,

And I am sent to tell his Maiestie,

That euen now he cries alowd for him.
