Such townes and forts as might eyther helpe[634] or hurt,
I manned Mayon and Suzan’s, townes of strength,
Fort Barnard, Thanceaur, and S. Cales the curt,
With Lile sues Bolton, standing in the durt:
Eke Gwerland, Suze, Loupeland and Mountsure,
With Malycorne, these wan I and kept full sure.

30.

Besides all this I tooke nere forty holdes,


But those I razed euen with the ground:
And for these deedes, as scely sheepe in foldes
Doe shrinke for feare at euery litle sound,
So fled my foes before my face, full round
Was none so hardy that durst abide the fight,
So Mars and fortune furdered mee their knight.

31.

I tell no lye, so gastfull grewe my name,


That it alone discomfited an hoast:
The Scots and Frenchmen[635] well[636] confesse the
same,
Els will the towne which they like cowards lost:
For whan they sieged Beauron with great boast,
Being fourty thousand Britaynes, French, and Scots,
Fiue hundred men did vanquish them like sots.[637]

32.

For while the Frenchmen freshly assaulted[638] still,


Our Englishmen came boldly forth at night,
Crying: “Sainct George, Salisbury, kill, kill, [kill:”]
And offered freshly with their foes to fight,
And they as Frenchly tooke themselues to flight:
Supposing surely that I had bene there,
See how my name did put them all in feare.
33.

Thus was the Dolphin’s power discomfited,


Four thousand slayne, theyr campe tane as it stood,
Whereby our towne and souldiers profited,
For there were vitayles plentifull and good:
This while was I in England, by the rood,
To appease a strife that was right foule befall,
Betweene duke Humfrey and the cardinall.

34.

The duke of Exeter shortly[639] after died,


Which of the king at home had gouernaunce,
Whose roume the earle of Warwicke then supplied,
And I tooke his and sped mee into Fraunce,
And hauing a zeale to[640] conquere Orliaunce,
With much a doe I gat the regent’s aide,
And marched thither,[641] and siege about it layde.

35.

But in the way I tooke the towne of Yayne,


Where murdered were for stoutnes many a man:
But Baugencey I tooke with litle payne,
For which to shewe them fauour I began:
This caused the townes of Mewne and Iargeman,
That stoode on Loyer, to profer mee the keyes,
Ere I came nere them, wel nigh by two dayes.

36.

See here how fortune froward[642] can allure,


What baytes shee layeth to bring men to their endes:
Who hauing hap like this, but hopeth sure,[643]
To bring to bale what euer hee entendes?
But soone is sower the sweete that fortune sendes:
Whan hope and hap, when health and wealth is
highest,
Then woe and wracke, disease, and neede bee
nighest.

37.

For while I, suing this so good successe,


Layde siege to Orliaunce on the riuer side,
The bastard (cuckold Cawnie’s sonne I gesse,
Tho thought the duke’s) who had the towne in guide,
Came fiercely forth, when hee his time espyde,
To rayse the siege, but was bet backe agayne,
And hard pursued both to his losse and payne.

38.

For there wee wan the bulwarke on the bridge,


With a mighty tower standing fast thereby:
Ah, cursed tower, that didst my dayes abridge,
Would God thou hadst bene furder, eyther I:
For in this tower a chamber standes on hie,
From which a man may view through all the towne
By certayn windowes iron grated downe.

39.

Where on a day, now, Baldwine, note mine end,


I stoode in viewing where the towne was weake,
And as I busily talked with my frend,
Shot fro the towne, which all the grate did breake,
A pellet came, and droue a mighty fleake
Against my face and tare away my cheeke,
For payne whereof I died within a weeke.[644]

40.

See, Baldwine, see the vncertayne glory,[645]


How sodayne mischief dasheth all to dust,
And warne all princes by my broken story,
The happiest fortune chiefly to mistrust:
Was neuer man that alway had his lust:
Then such be[646] fooles, in fancy more then mad,
Which hope to haue that neuer any had.[647]
[This straunge aduenture of the good earle draue vs all into a
dumpe, inwardly lamenting his woefull destiny, out of which wee
were awaked after this sort. “To what end,” sayde[648] one, “muse we
so much on the matter. This earle is neyther first nor last[649] whom
fortune hath foundred in the height of theyr prosperity. For all through
the raigne of this vnfortunate king Henry, we shall finde many which
haue beene likewise serued, whose chaunces sith they be martiall,
and therefore honourable, may the better be omitted. And therefore
wee will let goe the lordes Molines, and Poyninges, slayne both at
the siege of Orleaunce, shortly after the death of this earle. Also the
valiaunt earle of Arundel destroyed with a bowlet at the assault of
Gerborye,[650] whose stories neuerthelesse are worth the hearing.
And to quicken vp your spirites, I will take vpon mee a tragicall
person in deede, I meane king Iamy slayn by his seruauntes in his
priuy chamber: who although he be a Scot, yet seeing hee was
brought vp in England, where hee learned the language, his example
also so notable, it were not meete it should bee forgotten. And
therfore marke, Baldwine, what, I thinke, he may say.”]
[Howe King Iames the first, for
breaking his othes and bondes, was
by God’s sufferaunce miserably
murdered of his owne subiectes,
Anno 1437.[651]
1.

If for example’s sake thou wrote[652] thy booke,


I charge thee, Baldwine, thou forget mee not,
Whom fortune alwayes frowardly forsooke,
Such was my lucke, my merite, or my lot:
I am that Iames, king Robert’s sonne, the Scot
That was in England prysoner all his youth,
Through mine vncle Walter’s trayterous vntruth.

2.

For when my father through disease and age,


Unwieldy was to gouerne well his land,
Because his brother Walter seemed sage,
Hee put the rule thereof into his hand:
Than had my father (you shall vnderstand)
Of lawfull barnes mee and one only other,
Nempt Dauy Rothsay, who was mine elder brother.

3.

This Dauy was prince of Scotland, and so take


Till his aduoutry caused men complayne:
Which that hee might by monishment forsake,
My father prayed mine uncle take the payne,
To threaten him his vices to refrayne:
But hee false traytor, bucherly, murdering wretch,
To get the crowne began to fetch a fetch.

4.

And finding now a proffer to his pray,


Deuised meanes my brother to deuour,
And for that cause conuayde him, day by day,
From place to place, from castle vnto towre,
To Faulkland fort, where like a tormentour
Hee starued him, and put to death a wife
Whom through a reede hee suckt to saue his life.

5.

O wretched death, fye cruell tyranny,


A prince in pryson lost for want of foode![653]
Was neuer enmy wrought such vilany,
A trusty brother destroy his brother’s bloode:[654]
Woe worth so friendly, fye on double hoode:
Ah, wretched father, see thy sonne is lost,
Starued by thy brother whome thou trustedst most.

6.

Of whom when some beganne to finde the fraud,


(And yet the traytor made himselfe so cleare,
That hee should seeme to haue deserued laud,
So woefull did hee for his prince[655] appeare)
My doubtfull father, louing mee full deare,
T’avoyde[656] all daunger that might after chaunce,
Sent mee away, but nine yeares olde, to Fraunce.

7.
But windes and weather were so contrary,
That wee were driuen to the English coast,
Which realme with Scotland at that time did vary,
So that they tooke mee as prysoner,[657] not as[658]
hoast:[659]
For which my father, fearing I was[660] lost,
Conceiued shortly such an inward thought,
As to the graue immediatly him brought.

8.

Then had mine uncle all the regiment


At home, and I in England prisoner lay:
For to himselfe hee thought it detriment
For my release any ransome for to pay,
For as hee thought hee had possest his pray:
And therefore wisht I might in duraunce dure
Till I had died, so should his raigne be sure.

9.

But good king Henry, seeing I was a childe,


And heyr by right vnto a realme and crowne,
Did bring mee vp, (not like my brother, wilde)
But vertuously, in feates of high renowne,
In liberall artes, in instrumentall sowne:
By meane whereof when I was after king,
I did my realme to ciuill order bring.[661]

10.

For ere I had beene prysoner eighteene yeere,


In which short space two noble princes dyed,
Whereof the first in prudence had no peere,
The other in warre most valiaunt throughly tryed,
Whose roume his sonne babe Henry, eke supplyed:
The peeres of England which did gouerne all,
Did of theyr goodnes helpe mee out of thrall.

11.

They maryed mee to a cosin of theyr king,


The duke of Somerset’s daughter rich and fayre,[662]
Releast my ransome saue a trifling thing:
And after I had done homage to th’heyre,[663]
And sworne my frendship neuer should appayre,
They brought mee kingly furnisht to my land,
Which I receaued at mine vncle’s hand.

12.

Whereof my lords and commons were full glad,


So was mine vncle chiefly, as hee sayde,
Who in his mouth no other matter had,
Saue punish such as had my brother trayed:
The fault whereof apparauntly hee layed
To good duke Murdo, his elder brother’s sonne,
Whose father dyed long ere this was done.

13.

My cursed vncle, slyer than the snake,


Which would by craft vnto the crowne aspire,
Because hee sawe this Murdo[664] was a stake
That stayed vp the top of his desire,
(For his elder brother was duke Murdoe’s syre)[664]
Hee thought it best to haue him made away,
So was hee sure (I gone) to haue his pray.

14.

And by his craftes the traytour brought to passe,


That I destroyde duke Murdo and his kin,
Poore innocents, my louing friendes, alas:
O kinges, and princes, what plight stand wee in,
A trusted traytour shall you quickly win,
To put to death your kin and friendes most iust:
Take heede therefore, take heede whose reede yee
trust.

15.

And at the last to bring mee whole in hate


With God and man, at home and eke abrode,
Hee counsayl’d mee, for suraunce of my state
To help the Frenchmen, then nigh ouertrode
By Englishmen: and more to lay on lode,
With power and force all England to inuade,
Against the oth and homage that I made.

16.

And though at first my conscience did grudge,


To breake the boundes of friendship knit by oth,
Yet after proofe (see mischiefe) I did iudge
It madnes for a king to keepe his troth,
And semblably with all the world it goth:
Sinnes oft assayde are thought to bee no sinne,
So soyleth sinne the soule it sinketh in.

17.

But as diseases common cause of death,


Bring daunger most when least they pricke and smart,
Which is a signe they haue expulst the breath
Of liuely heate, which doth defend the heart:
Euen so such sinnes as felt are on no part
Haue conquered grace, and by theyr wicked vre
So kild the soule, that it can haue no cure.

18.

And grace agate, vice still succedeth vice,


And all to haste the vengeaunce for the furst,
I areade therefore all people to bee wise,
And stop the brake when it begins to burst:
Attast no poyson (vice is venim worst,
It mates the minde) beware eke of too much,
All kill through muchnes, some with onely touch.

19.

When I had learnde to set my oth at nought,


And through much vse the sence of sinne exiled,
Against king Henry what I could, I wrought,
My fayth, my oth, vniustly foule defiled:[665]
And while slye fortune at my doings smyled,
The wrath of God, which I had well deserued,
Fell on my necke, for thus loe was I serued.

20.

Ere I had raygned fully fifteene yeare,


While time I lay at Pertho, at my place,
With the queene my wife and children mee to chare,
My murdring uncle with the double face,
That longed for my kingdome and my mace,
To slay mee there suborned Robert Grame,
With whom his nephue, Robert Stuard, came.

21.

And when theyr time fit for theyr[666] purpose founde,


Into my priuy chamber they astart,
Where with theyr swordes they gaue mee many a wound,
And slue all such as stuck vnto my part:
There loe my wife did shew her louing heart,
Who, to defend mee, felled one or twayne,
And was sore wounded ere I coulde bee slayne.[667]
22.

See Baldwine, Baldwine, the vnhappy endes


Of such as passe not for theyr lawfull oth:
Of those that causeles leaue theyr fayth and[668] frendes,
And murder kinsfolkes through their foes vntroth:
Warne, warne all princes, all like sinnes to loth,
And chiefly such as in my realme be borne,
For God hates highly all that[669] are forsworne.][670]
[When[671] this was sayde, quoth[672] one of the company: “Let
passe these Scottish matters, and returne wee to our English storyes
which minister matter enough of tragedy, without seking or trauayling
to forayne countreyes. Therefore returne wee to the rest of the
tragicall troubles and broyles which happened in this realme during
the minority of king Henry the sixt, and the sondry falls and
ouerthrowes of great princes and other noble persons happening
thereby.” “Well sayd (qd maister Ferrers) as[673] it happeneth I haue
penned here two[674] notable tragedies, the one of Humfrey duke of
Glocester, the other of the duchess Elianor his wife, which (as mee
seemeth) be two of the most memorable matters fortuning in that[675]
time: but whether of them is to bee placed first in[676] the order of our
booke, I somwhat stand in doubt. For albeit the sayd duke’s death
happened before the deceasse of the duches, yet was her fall first,
which finally was cause of both.”[677] “Why should you doubt then
(quod the rest of the company) for seeing the cause doth alwayes
goe before th’effect and sequell of any thing, it is good reason you
should begin with her first. And therefore wee pray you let vs heare
first what shee hath to say: for all this while wee haue not heard the
complaynt of any lady or other woman.”]
How Dame Elianor Cobham Duchesse
of Glocester, for practising of
witchcraft and sorcery, suffred open
penaunce, and after was banished the
realme into the Ile of Man.

Then, gentle Baldwine, stay thy pen a while,
And of pure pitty ponder well my case,
How I a duches, destitute of grace,
Haue found by proofe, as many haue and shall,
The prouerbe true, that pride will haue a fall.

2.

A noble prince extract of royall bloud,


Humfrey, sometime protector of this land,
Of Glocester duke, for vertue calde, the good,
When I but base beneath his state did stande,
Vouchsafte with mee to ioyne in wedlocke’s band,
Hauing in court no name of high degree,
But Elinor Cobham, as parents left to mee.

3.

And though by birth[678] of noble race I was,


Of baron’s bloud, yet was I thought vnfitte
So high to match, yet so it came to passe,
Whether by grace, good fortune, or by witte,
Dame Venus’ lures so in mine eyes did sitte,
As this great prince without respect of state,
Did worthy mee to bee his wedded mate.

4.

His wife I was, and hee my true husband,


Though for a while hee had the company
Of lady Iaquet, [the] dutchesse of Holland,
Being an heyre of ample patrimony,
But that fell out to bee no matrimony:
For after warre, long sute in lawe, and strife,
Shee proued was the duke of Brabant’s wife.

5.

Thus of a damsell [a] duchesse I became,


My state and place aduaunced next the queene,
Whereby mee thought I felt no ground, but swam,
For in the court mine equall was not seene,
And so possest with pleasure of the spleene,
The sparkes of pride so kindled in my brest,
As I in court would shine aboue the rest.

6.

Such giftes of nature God in mee had graft


Of shape and stature,[679] with other graces moe,
That by the shot of Cupid’s fiery shaft,
Which to the harte of this great prince did goe,
This mighty duke with loue was kindled so,
As hee abasing the height of his degree,
Set his whole hart, to loue and honour mee.

7.

Grudge who so would, to him I was most deere,


Aboue all ladyes[680] aduaunced in degree,
(The queene except) no princesse was my peere,
But gaue mee place, and lordes with cap and knee
Did all honour and reuerence vnto mee:
Thus hoisted high vppon the rolling wheele,
I sate so sure, mee thought I could not reele.

8.

And weening least that fortune hath a turne,


I lookt aloft, and would not looke alowe,
The brondes of pride so in my brest did burne
As the hot sparkes, burst forth in open showe,
And more and more the fire began to glowe
Without quenching, and daily did encrease,
Till fortune’s blastes with shame did make it cease.

9.

For (as tis sayd) pride passeth on afore,


And shame followes, for iust rewarde and meede,
Would God ladyes, both now and euermore,
Of my hard hap, which shall the story reede,
Would beare in mind, and trust it as their creede,
That pryde of hart is a most hatefull vice,
And lowlines, a pearle of passing price.

10.

Namely in queenes, and ladyes of estate,


Within whose mindes all meekenes should abound,
Since high disdayne doth alwayes purchase hate,
Being a vice, that most part doth redound
To their reproach, in whome the same is found,
And seeldome gets good fauour or good fame,
But is at last knit vp with worldly shame.

11.
The proofe wherof I found most true in deede,
That pryde afore, hath shame to wayt behinde:
Let no man doubt, in whom this vice doth breede,
But shame for pride by iustice is assynde,
Which I well found, for truely in my minde
Was neuer none, whome pride did more enflame,
Nor neuer none receiued greater shame.

12.

For not content to bee a duchesse great,


I longed sore to beare the name of queene,
Aspiring still vnto an higher seat,
And with that hope my selfe did ouerweene
Since there was none, which that time was betweene
Henry the king, and my good duke his eame,
Heyre to the crowne and kingdome of this realme.

13.

So neare to bee, was cause of my vayne hope


And long awayte, when this faire hap would fall:
My studies all were tending to that scope,
Alas, the while to councell I did call
Such as would seeme, by skill coniecturall
Of art magique and wicked sorcery,
To deeme and dyuine[681] the prince’s destiny:

14.

Among which sort of those that bare most fame


There was a beldame called the witch of Ey,
Old mother Madge her neighbours did her name,[682]
Which wrought wonders in countryes by here say,
Both feendes and fayries her[683] charming would obay:
And dead corpsis[684] from graue shee could vp rere,
Such an inchauntresse [as] that time had no peere.
15.

Two priests also, the one hight Bolenbroke,


The other Suthwell, [great] clerkes in coniuration,[685]
These two chapleins were they that vndertooke
To cast and calke the kinge’s constellation,[686]
And then to iudge by deepe[687] diuination
Of thinges to come, and who should next succede
To Englande’s crowne, all this was true in deede.

16.

And further sure they neuer did proceede,


Though I confesse that this attempt was ill,
But for my part, for any thing in deede,
Wrought, or else thought, by any kinde of skill,
God is my iudge I neuer had the will,
By any inchauntment, sorcery, or charme,
Or otherwise, to worke my prince’s harme.

17.

Yet nethelesse,[688] when this case came to light


By secrete spies to Cayphas, our cardinall,
Who long in hart had borne a priuy spight
To my good duke, his nephue naturall,
Glad of the chaunce so fitly forth to fall,
His long hid hate with justice to color,
Used this case with most extreame rigor.

18.

And caused mee with my complices all,


To bee cyted by processe peremptory,
Before judges, in place judiciall,
Whereas Cayphas, sitting in his glory,
Would not allow my aunswere dilatory,
Ne doctor, or proctor, to alledge the lawes,
But forced mee to plead in mine owne cause.

19.

The kinge’s councell were called to the case,


(My husband than shut out for the season)
In whose absence I found but little grace,
For lawyers turned our offence to treason:
And so with rigor, without ruth or reason,
Sentence was gieuen that I for the same
Should doe penaunce, and suffer open shame.

20.

Nay the like shame had neuer wight I weene,


Duches, lady, ne damsel of degree,
As I that was a princesse, next the queene,
Wife to a prince, and none so great as hee,
A kinge’s vncle, protector of his countrey,
With taper burning, shrouded in a sheete,
Three dayes a row, to passe the open streete,

21.

Bareleg’d, and barefoote, to all the worlde’s wonder,


Yea, and as though such shame did not suffise,
With more despite then to part asunder
Mee and my duke, which traytors did deuise
By statute lawe, in most vnlawfull wise,
First sending mee with shame into exile,
Then murdring him by trechery and gyle.

22.

Yea, and besides this cruell banishment,[689]


Far from all friendes to comfort mee in care,
And husband’s death, there was by parliament
Ordayn’d for mee a messe of courser fare:
For they to bryng mee to begger’s state most bare,
By the same act from mee did then withdrawe
Such right of dower, as widowe’s haue by lawe.[690]

23.

Death (as tis sayd) doth set all things at rest,


Which fell not so in mine vnhappy case:
For since my death, mine enmies made a jest
In minstrel’s rymes, mine honour to deface:
And then to bring my name in more disgrace,
A song was made in manner of a laye,
Which olde wiues sing of mee vnto this day.[691]

24.

Yet with these spites theyr malice could not end,


For shortly after, my sorrowes to renue,
My loyall lord, which neuer did offend,
Was calde in haste, the cause hee litle knew,
To a parliament, without sommons due,
Whereas his death was cruelly contriued,
And I, his wife, of earthly ioyes depriued.

25.

For all the while my duke had life and breath,


So long I stoode in hope of my restore:
But when I heard of his most causles death,
Then the best salue for my recureless sore
Was to despayre of cure for euermore,
And as I could, my carefull heart to cure
With pacience, most paynfull to endure.
