Your grace herein is very well advised, With resolution fitting your degree, Your Grace must show yourself to be a King, And rule like God's viceregent here on earth, The looks of Kings do lend both life and death, And when a King doth set down his decree, His sentence should be irrevocable, Your grace herein hath shown your Princely mind, In that you hate to pray on carrion flesh, Such prays befits not Kings to pray upon, That may command and countermand their own. I hope my Lord this message so will prove, That public hate will turn to private love. And therefore I say my Lord you have answered well, The task was given your Grace by Act of Parliament, And you have reason to demand your dew. My Lords I hope we shall not need to fear, To meet those men that thus do threaten us. We will my Lords to morrow meet with them, And hear my Lords what 'tis that they demand. Mother your Grace shall need to take no care, For you shall in our Tower of London stay, Till we return from Kent to you again. My Lord see every thing prepared for us: And Mother thus I leave your Majesty, You to the Tower, and I must hence to Kent, My Lord if so you please take my advise herein, That speaks in love and duty to your grace: I shall in every matter privilege your Majesty and all your Lordly train. I mean against your Manor of Greenwich town, And so amidst the stream may hover safe, meanwhile they send some few and chosen men, To give your Grace to understand their minds, And thus my Lord I have adventured, To show your Majesty my mind herein. IT is good to make provision, for peradventure we shall lack victuals and we lie in camp on Black Heath long. And in faith as long as this Goose lasts we'll not starve: And as many good fellows as will come to the eating of her, come and welcome. For in faith I came lightly by her, And lightly come lightly gone, We Captains are Lords within ourselves, And if the world hold out we shallbe Kings shortly. The rest of my fellow Captains are gone before to Greenwich to meet the King: That comes to know our minds, And while they be about it: I'll make good cheer, with my Goose here, What's the Goose flown away without her head. Here's a stir more than needs, What means the King thus to abuse us? And makes us run about his pleasure, and to no end. He promised us to meet us on the water, And by Lady as soon as we came at the water side, He fair and flat turns his Barge and away he goes to London. I tell thee What we will not put up this abuse. By gog's blood Captain Straw, we will remove our camp, and away to London roundly, And there we'll speak with him, or were know why we shall not.

Your grace heerein is very well aduiſd, VVith reſolution fitting your degree, Your Grace muſt ſhew your ſelfe to be a King, And rule like Gods viſgerent here on earth, The lookes of Kinges doe lend both life and death, And when a King doth ſet downe his decree, His ſentence ſhould be irreuocable, Your grace herein hath ſhowne your Princely minde, In that you hate to pray on carren fleſh, Such praies befits not Kings to pray vpon, That may command and countermand their owne. I hope my Lord this meſſage ſo will proue, That publike hate will turne to priuate loue. And therefore I ſay my Lord you haue anſwered well, The taske was giuen your Grace by Act of Parliament, And you haue reaſon to demand your dew. My Lords I hope we ſhall not neede to feare, To meete thoſe men that thus doe threaten vs. VVe will my Lords to morrowe meete with them, And heare my Lords what tis that they demand. Mother your Grace ſhall need to take no care, For you ſhall in our Towre of London ſtay, Till we returne from Kent to you againe. My Lord ſee euery thing prepard for vs: And Mother thus I leaue your Maieſtie, You to the Towre, and I muſt hence to Kent, My Lord if ſo you pleaſe take my aduiſe herein, That ſpeakes in loue and duty to your grace: I ſhall in euerie matter priueledge your Maieſtie and all your Lordly traine. I meane againſt your Mannor of Greenewich towne, And ſo amidſt the ſtreame may houer ſafe, Meane while they ſend ſome few and choſen men, To giue your Grace to vnderſtand their mindes, And thus my Lord I haue aduentured, To ſhew your Maieſtie my minde herein. IT is good to make prouiſion, for peraduenture wee ſhall lacke victuals and wee lie in campe on Blacke Heath long. And in faith as long as this Gooſe laſts wele not ſtarue: And as many good fellowes as will come to the eating of her, come and welcome. For in faith I came lightly by her, And lightly come lightly gone, We Captaines are Lords within our ſelues, And if the world hold out we ſhalbe Kings ſhortly. The reſt of my fellowe Captaines are gone before to Grenewich to meete the King: That comes to knowe our mindes, And while they be about it: Ile make good cheare, with my Gooſe here, Whats the Gooſe flowne away without her head. Heres a ſturre more than needs, What meanes the King thus to abuſe vs? And makes vs runne about his pleaſure, and to no end. He promiſed vs to meete vs on the water, And by Ladie as ſoone as we came at the water ſide, Hee faire and flat turnes his Barge and away hee goes to London. I tell thee Wat we will not put vp this abuſe. By gogs blood Captaine Strawe, wee will remoue our campe, and awaie to London roundlie, And there wele ſpeake with him, or were know whie wee ſhall not.
