Innocent paper whom too cruell hand
Did make the matter to avenge her yre:
and ere she could thy cause wel understand,
did sacrifize unto the greedy fyre.
Well worthy thou to have found better hyre,
then so bad end for hereticks ordayned:
yet heresy nor treason didst conspire,
but plead thy maisters cause unjustly payned.
Whom all carelesse of his griefe constrayned
to utter forth th'anguish of his hart:
and would not heare, when he to her complayned,
the piteous pa**ion of his dying smart.
Yet live for ever, though against her will,
and speake her good, though she requite it ill.
