JEsus God what a griefe is this, that Princes subjects cannot be true: But still the Devill hath some of his, will play their parts whatsoever ensue. Forgetting what a greevous thing, It is to offend the annointed Kinge: Alas for woe, why should it be so, This makes a sorowfull heigh ho. In Scotland is a bonie Kinge, as proper a youthe as neede to be: Well given to every happy thing, that can be in a Kinge to see. Yet that unluckie countrie still, Hath people given to craftie will. Alas for woe, etc. On Whitson Eve it so befell, a Posset was made to give the Kinge: Whereof his Ladie Nurse hard tell, and that it was a poysoned thing. She cryed and called piteouslie: Now helpe or els the King shall die. Alas for woe, etc. One Browne that was an English man, and hard the Ladies piteous crye: Out with his Sword, and besturd him than, out of the doores in haste to flie. But all the doores were made so fast, Out of a window he got at last. Alas for woe, etc. He met the Bishop comming fast, having the Posset in his hande: The sight of Browne made him agast, who bad him stoutly staie and stand. With him were two that ranne away, For feare that Browne would make a fray. Alas for woe, etc. Bishop quoth Browne what hast thou there, nothing at all my freend sayde he: But a Posset to make the King good cheere, is it so sayd Browne, that will I see, First I will have thy selfe begin, Before thou goe any further in, Be it weale or woe it shall be so, This makes a sorrowfull heigh ho. The Bishop saide, Browne I doo know, thou art a young man poore and bare: Livings on thee I will bestowe, let me go on take thou no care. No no quoth Browne I will not be A Traitour for all Christiantie, Happe well or woe, it shall not be so, Drinke now with a sorrowfull heigh ho. The Bishop dranke, and by and by, his belly burst and he fell downe: A just reward for his traytery, this was a Posset indeede quoth Browne.
He serched the Bishop and found the keyes, To come to the King when he did please, Alas for woe, etc. As soone as the King gat word of this, he humbly fell uppon his knee: And praysed God that he did misse, to tast of that extremity. For that he did perceave and know, His Clergie would betray him so: Alas for woe, etc. Alas he said unhappy Realme, my Father and Godfather slaine: My Mother banished O extreame, unhappy fate and bitter bayne. And now like Treason wrought for me, What more unhappy Realme can be. Alas for woe, etc. The King did call his Nurse to his grace, and gave her twentie pound a yeere: And trustie Browne to in like case, be Knighted him with gallant geere. And gave him livings great, For dooing such a manly feat: As he did shoe, to the Bishops woe, which made, etc. When all this Treason don and past, tooke not effect of Traytery: Another Treason at the last, they sought against his Majestie. How they might make their Kinge away: By a privie banket on a daye. Alas for woe, etc. Wherat they ment to sell the King, beyonde the seas it was decreede: Three noble Earles heard of this thing, and did prevent the same with speede. For a Letter came, with such a charme, That they should doo theyr King no harme: For further woe, if they did so, Which made a sorrowfull heigh hoe. The Earle Mourton, told the Douglas then, take heede you doo not offend the Kinge: But shew yourselves like honest men, obediently in everything. For his Godmother will not see, Her noble Childe misusde to be. With any woe, for if it be so: She will make a sorrowfull heigh ho. God graunt all subjects, may be true, in England, Scotland, and everiewhere: That no such daunger may ensue, to put the Prince or state in feare. That God the highest King may see, Obedience as it ought to be. In wealth or woe, God graunt it be so, To avoide the sorowfull heigh ho.
