Of The Late Coronation
How doth the King? What King you ask?
Why HENRY! Why take me to task?
If of that name the bloody FOURTH
The one who stole his kingly Crown
Or FIFTH who fought for all his worth
Until the French pox struck him down
The feeble SIXTH who lost his sense
Or SEVENTH always pinching pence?
Or mean you EIGHTH the lecher-man
Who scorned GOD shuffling his leman?
They all be dead and gone to HELL
May good QUEEN MARY rule us well!
