WHen Edward was in England King the First of all that name, Proud Elanor he made his Queen, a stately Spanish Dame: Whose wicked life and sinful Pride, through England did Excel, To dainty Dame and Gallant Maid, this Queen was known full well: She was the first that did invent in Coaches brave to ride, She was the first that brought this Land, to deadly Sin of Pride: No English Taylor here could serve, to make her rich attire. But sent for Taylors into Spain, to feed her vain desire. They brought in Fashions strange & new, with golden garments bright, With Farthingale and mighty Stuff with Gowns of rich delight: Your London Dames in Spanish Pride, did Flourish every-where; Our English Men like Women then, did wear long Locks of Hair.
Both Man and Child, both Maid & Wife, were drownd in Pride of Spain, And thought the Spanish Taylors then, our EngIish Men did stain: Whereat the Queen did much despight. to see your English Men In Vestures clad, as brave to see as any Spaniard then, She cravd the King that every man that wore long Locks of Hair, Might then be cut and Polled all, or shaved very near. Whereat the King did seem content, and soon thereto agreed, And first commanded that his own, should then be cut with speed. And after that, to please his Queen, proclaimed through the Land, That every man that wore long Hair, should poll him out of hand: But yet this Spaniard not content, to Woman bore a spight, And then requested of the King, against all Law and Right.
That every womankind should have, their right Breast cut away, And then with burnig Irons sear[]d, the blood to stanch and stay! King Edward then perceiving well, her spight to womankind, Devised soon by policy, and turnd her bloody mind. And sent for burning Irons straight, all sparkling hot to see And said, O Queen, come on thy way, I will begin with thee: Which words did much displease the Queen that Penance to begin. But askt him pardon on her knees, who gave her grace therein. But afterwards she chancd to pass, along brave London strrets, Whereas the Mayor of Londons Wife, in stately sort she meets; With Musick, Mirth and Melody, unto the Church they went, To give God thanks that to th Lord Mayor a Noble Son had sent.
It grieved much this spitful Queen, to see that any one, Should so exceed in Mirth and Joy, except herself alone; For which she after did devise, within her bloody mind, And practtisd still most secretly, to kill this Lady kind: Unto the Mayor of London then, she sent her Letters straight, To send this Lady to the Court, upon her Grace to wait; But when the London Lady came, before provd Eloners face. She stript her from her rich array, and kept her vile and base. She sent her into Wales with speed, and kept her secret there, And usd her still most cruelly, that ever man did hear: She made her wash she made her starch, she made her drudge always, She made her Nurse up Children small, and labour night and day. But this contented not the Queen, but shewd her most despight, She bound this Lady to a Post, at twelve a clock at night; And as poor Lady she stood bound, the Queen in angry mood, Did set two Snakes unto her Breast, that suckt away her blood. Thus died the Mayor of Londons Wife, most grievous for to hear, Which made the Spaniard grow more proud as after shall appear, The Wheat that made her Bread, was bolted twenty times, The Food that fed this stately Dame, was boiled in costly wines: The water that did spring from Ground, she would not touch at all, But wash her hands with dew of Heaven that on sweet Roses fall;
She bathd her body many a time, in Fountains filld with milk, And every day did change Attire, in costly Median Silk. But coming then to London back, within her Coach of Gold, A tempest strange within the skies, this Queen did their behold; Out of which Storm she could not go, but their remaind a space, Four horses could not stir the Coach a foot out of the place. A Judgment lately sent from heaven, for shedding guiltless blood Upon this sinful Queen that slew the London Lady good: King Edward then, as wisdom willd; acousd her of that deed; But she denyd and wisht that God, would send his wrath with speed. If that upon so vile a thing, her heart did ever think, Se wisht the ground would open wide, and she therein might sink: With that at Charing cross she sunk into the ground alive, And after rose with life again, in London at Queen-hith. When after that she languisht sore full twenty days in pain, At last confest the Ladys Blood, her guilty hand had slain; And likewise how that by a Fryar, she had a base-born Child, Whose sinful lust and wickedness, her marriage bed defild. Thus have you heard the fall of Pride, a just reward of Sin. For those that will forswear themselves, Gods vengance daily win; Beware of Pride ye courtly Dames, both wives and maidens all, Bear this imprinted in your mind, that PRIDE must have a fall.
