"Our Buckingham Duke is the man that I meane,
Come love mee where I lay;
On his shoulders the weale of the kingdome doth leane--
The cleane contrary way,
O the cleane contrary way.

"O happiest kingdome that ever was kind,
Come love mee where I lay;
And happie the king that hath such a friend--
The cleane contrary way,
O the cleane contrary way. {292}

"Needs must I extoll his worth and his blood--
Come love mee where I lay;
And his sweet disposition soe milde and soe good--
The cleane contrary way,
O the cleane contrary way.

"Those innocent smiles that embelish his face,
Come love mee where I lay;
Who sees them not tokens of goodness and grace--
The cleane contrary way,
O the cleane contrary way.

"And what other scholler could ever arise,
Come love mee where I lay;
From a master that was soe sincere and wise--
The cleane contrary way,
O the cleane contrary way.
