Had General King (21) done what he should,
And given the blew-caps battail,
Wee'd make them all run into Tweed
By droves, like sommer cattell.
The King sent us, etc.

Will Morton's (22) of that Cardinal's race,
Who made that blessed maryage;
He is most loyall to his King,
In action, word, and carryage;
His sword and pen defends the cause,
If King Charles thinke not on him,
Will is amongst the rest undone, -
The Lord have mercy on him!
The King sent us, etc.

Tom Conisby (23) is stout and stern,
Yet of a sweet condition;
To them he loves his crime was great,
He read the King's commission,
And required Cranborn to assist;
He charged, but should have pray'd him;
Tom was so bold he did require
All for the King should aid him.
The King sent us, etc.

But I Win. Bodnam (24) had forgot,
Had suffer'd so much hardship;
There's no man in the Towre had left
The King so young a wardship;
