OH valiaunt invaders gallants gaie. Who, with your compeeres conque-ringe the route, Castels or towrs: all standynge in your waie, Ye take, controlling all estates most stoute. Yet had it now bene good to looke aboute. Scarborow castel: to have let alone, And take scarborow warnynge everichone. By Scarborow castell, not Scarborow: I onely meane: but further understande, Eche Havene, eche hold, or other harborow, That our good Kyng and Queene do holde in hande: As dewe obedience bindth us in bande. Their Scarborow castels to let a lone, And take Scarborow warnings everychone. The scalers of which castells evermore, In bookes of olde, and in our eyes of new: Have alway lost them selves and theirs therfore. All this ye did forget: in time to vew. Which myght have wrought both you and yours teschew: Lettyng Scarborow castel now alone, Takyng Scarborow warnyng everychone. This Scarborow castell, symplie standyng: Yet could that castell slyly you begyle, Ye thought ye tooke the castell: at your landyng: The castell takyng you: in the selfe whyle. Eche stone within the castell wall did smyle, That Scarborow castell ye let not alone, And tooke Scarborow warnyng everychone. Your puttyng now in ure your dyvylishe dreame, Hath made you see (and lyke enough to feele) A fewe false traytours can not wynne a reame, Good subjectes be (and will be) trew as steele. To stand with you, the ende they lyke no deele. Scarborow castels they can lette alone, And take Scarborow warnyngs everychone. They know gods law: tobey their Kyng and Queene. Not take from them: but kepe for them their owne. And geve to them: when such traytours are seene As ye are now: to brynge all overthrowne: They woorke your overthrow, by gods power growne. God saith: let Scarborow castell alone, Take Scarborow warnyng everychone.
To late for you, and in time for the rest Of your most traytorous sect (if any bee) You all are spectacles at full witnest: As other weare to you: treason to flee. Which in you past, yet may the rest of yee: The saide Scarborow castells let alone, And take Scarborow warnyngs everychone. This terme Scarborow warnyng, grew (some say) By hasty hangyng, for rank robbry theare. Who that was met, but suspect in that way, Streight was he trust up: what ever he weare. Wherupon theeves thynkyng good to forbeare, Scarborow Robbyng they let that alone, And tooke Scarborow warnyng everychone. If Robbyng in that way, bred hangyng so, By theft to take, way, towne, castell and all, What Scarborow hangyng craveth this lo: Weare your selves herein Judges capitall: I thinke your Judgementes on these woords must fall. Scarborow Robbyng who letth not alone, Scarborow hangyng deserve everychone. We wold to god that you (and al of yow) Had but considered: as wel as ye knew: The end of all traytorie, as you see it now. Long to have lived, lovyng subjectes trew. Alas: your losse we not rejoyse, but rew. That Scarborow castell ye leete not alone, And tooke Scarborow warnyng everychone. To crafts that ever thryve, wyse men ever cleave. To crafts that seeldwhen thryve, wyse men seeldwhen flee. The crafts that never thryve, a foole can learne to leave. This thriftles crafty crafte then clere leave we. One God, one Kynge, one Queene, serve franke and free. Their Scarborow castell let it alone, Take we Scarborow warning everichone. Our soveraigne lord: and soveraigne lady both. Lawde we our lorde, for their prosperitee. Beseching him for it: as it now goth, And to this daie hath gone, that it may bee: Continued so, in perpetuitee. We lettyng theyr Scarborow castells alone, Takyng Scarborow warnings everychone,
