Yor.

Scarse can I speake, my Choller is so great.

Oh I could hew up Rockes, and fight with Flint,

I am so angry at these abiect tearmes.

And now like Aiax Telamonius,

On Sheepe or Oxen could I spend my furie.

I am farre better borne then is the king:

More like a King, more Kingly in my thoughts.

But I must make faire weather yet a while,

Till Henry be more weake, and I more strong.

Buckingham, I prethee pardon me,

That I haue giuen no answer all this while:

My minde was troubled with deepe Melancholly.

The cause why I haue brought this Armie hither,

Is to remoue proud Somerset from the King,

Seditious to his Grace, and to the State.
