Suf.

The honourable blood of Lancaster

Must not be shed by such a iaded Groome:

Hast thou not kist thy hand, and held my stirrop?

Bare‑headed plodded by my foot‑cloth Mule,

And thought thee happy when I shooke my head.

How often hast thou waited at my cup,

Fed from my Trencher, kneel'd downe at the boord,

When I haue, fested with Queene Margaret?

Remember it, and let it make thee Crest‑falne,

I, and alay this thy abortiue Pride:

How in our voyding Lobby hast thou stood,

And duly wayted for my comming forth?

This hand of mine hath writ in thy behalfe,

And therefore shall it charme thy riotous tongue.
