    Though God gave yet no end to mine, When I supposed my name forgot, And time had wash’d away my hlot, And in another Prince’s reign, I came to England back again. But staying there my friends decay’d My Prince’s laws I disobeyed And by true justice judged to die; For clipping gold in secrecy; By gold was my best living made; And so by gold my life decayed. Thus have you heard the woful strife, That came by my unconstant wife. Her fall, my death wherein is shew’d The story of a strumpet lewd. In hope thereby some women may, Take heed how they at wanton play. 1263 ]
