<L>ALL you that cry, <HI>O hone O hone</HI></L>
<L>come now and &s;ing, O Lord with me,</L>
<L>For why our Iewell is from vs gone,</L>
<L>the valiant Knight of Chiualrie:</L>
<L>Of rich and poore beloued was he,</L>
<L>in time an honorable Knight,</L>
<L>When by our Lawes condemd to dye,</L>
<L>and lately tooke his la&s;t Good night.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Count him not like to Saint nor <HI>Campion,</HI></L>
<L>(tho&s;e traitrous men) or <HI>Babington,</HI></L>
<L>Nor like the Earle of <HI>We&s;tmerland,</HI></L>
<L>by whom a number were vndone:</L>
<L>He neuer yet hurt mothers &s;onne,</L>
<L>his quarrell &s;til maintaind the right:</L>
<L>Which makes y^t tears my cheeks down run:</L>
<L>when I thinke on his la&s;t Good-night.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The <HI>Portingales</HI> can witnes be,</L>
<L>his Dagger at <HI>Li&s;bone</HI> gate he flung,</L>
<L>And like a knight of Chiualrie,</L>
<L>his chaine vpon the gate he hung:</L>
<L>Would God that he would thither come,</L>
<L>to fetch them both in order right:</L>
<L>Which thing was by his honor done,</L>
<L>yet lately tooke his la&s;t Good-night.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The Frenchmen they can te&s;tifie,</L>
<L>the towns of <HI>Gourney</HI> he tooke in:</L>
<L>And marched to <HI>Roane</HI> immediately,</L>
<L>not caring for his foes a pin.</L>
<L>With bullets then he pierced their &s;kin,</L>
<L>and made them fl&eacute;e far from his &s;ight:</L>
<L>He at that time did credit win,</L>
<L>and now hath tane his la&s;t Good-night.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>And &s;tately <HI>Cales</HI> can witnes well:</L>

<L>Which was again&s;t their order right:</L>
