<L>WHen <HI>Edward</HI> was in <HI>England</HI> King,</L>

<L>She was the fir&s;t that did invent</L>

<L>She was the fir&s;t that brought this Land</L>

<L>But &s;ent for Taylors into <HI>Spain,</HI></L>

<L>They brought in Fa&s;hions &s;trange and new,</L>
<L>with Golden Garments bright;</L>
<L>The Farthingale and mighty Ruff,</L>
<L>with Gowns of rich Delight:</L>

<L>Both Man and Child both Maid and Wife,</L>

<L>And after that, to plea&s;e his Queen,</L>
<L>proclaimed through the Land,</L>

<L>It grieved much <GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 word"> &s;pightful Queen,</L>
<L>to &s;ee that any one,</L>
<L>Should &s;o exceed in Mirth and Ioy,</L>
<L>except her&s;elf alone;</L>
<L>For which &s;he after did devi&s;e,</L>
<L>within her bloody mind,</L>
<L>And practis'd &s;till mo&s;t &s;ecretly,</L>
<L>to kill this Lady kind:</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Vnto the Mayor of <HI>London</HI> then,</L>
<L>&s;he &s;ent her Letters &s;traight,</L>
<L>To &s;end his Lady to the Court,</L>
<L>upon her Grace to wait;</L>
<L>But when the <HI>London</HI> Lady came</L>
<L>before proud <HI>Elenor</HI>'s face,</L>
<L>She &s;tr<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="missing" EXTENT="1 letter">pt her from her rich Array,</L>
<L>and kept her vile and ba&s;e.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>She &s;ent her into <HI>Wales</HI> with &s;peed,</L>
<L>and kept her &s;ecret there,</L>
<L>And us'd her &s;till mo&s;t cruelly,</L>
<L>that ever Man did hear:</L>
<L>She made her wa&s;h, &s;he made her &s;tarch,</L>
<L>&s;he made her drudge alway,</L>
<L>She made her nur&s;e up Children &s;mall,</L>
<L>and labour night and day.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But this contented not the Queen,</L>
<L>but &s;hew'd her mo&s;t di&s;pight,</L>
<L>She bound this Lady to a Po&s;t,</L>
<L>at twelve a clock at Night;</L>
<L>And as poor Lady &s;he &s;tood bound,</L>
<L>the Queen in angry mood,</L>
<L>Did &s;et two Snakes unto her Brea&s;t,</L>
<L>that &s;uckt away her blood.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Thus dyed the Mayor of <HI>London</HI>'s Wife,</L>
<L>mo&s;t grievous for to hear,</L>
<L>Which made the <HI>Spaniard</HI> grow more proud,</L>
<L>as after &s;hall appear:</L>
<L>The Wheat that daily made her Bread,</L>
<L>was bolted twenty times,</L>
<L>The Food that fed this &s;tately Dame,</L>
<L>was boly'd in co&s;tly Wines;</L>

<L>The Water that did &s;pring from Ground,</L>
<L>&s;he would not touch at all,</L>
<L>But wa&s;ht her hands with Dew of Heaven,</L>
<L>that on &s;weet Ro&s;es fall;</L>
<L>She bath'd her body many a time,</L>
<L>in Fount ins<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="missing" EXTENT="1 letter">fill'd with Milk,</L>
<L>And every day did change Attire,</L>
<L>in co&s;tly <HI>Median</HI> Silk.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But coming then to <HI>London</HI> back,</L>
<L>within her Coach of Gold,</L>
<L>A Tempe&s;t &s;trange within the Skies,</L>
<L>this Queen did there behold;</L>
<L>Out of which Storm &s;he could not go,</L>
<L>but there remain'd a &s;pace,</L>
<L>Four Hor&s;es could not &s;tir the Coath</L>
<L>a foot out of the place.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>A Iudgement lately &s;ent from Heaven,</L>
<L>for &s;hedding guiltle&s;s Blood,</L>
<L>Vpon this &s;inful Queen, that &s;lew</L>
<L>the <HI>London</HI> Lady good:</L>

<L>accus'd her of that Deed;</L>
<L>But &s;he deny'd, and wi&s;ht that God</L>
<L>would &s;end his Wrath with &s;peed.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>If that upon &s;o vile a thing,</L>
<L>her heart did ever think,</L>
<L>She wi&s;ht the Ground might open wide</L>
