The author of this ballad and the previous one produced so many vitriolic ballads on the subject that they were ultimately imprisoned for a few weeks.</text>

            <text>¶Heue aud how rumbelow thou arte to blame&#13;
Trolle into the right way agayne for shame.&#13;
&#13;
TRolle into the way / trolle in and retrolle&#13;
Small charyte and lesse wytte is in thy nolle&#13;
Thus for to rayle vpon a christen soule&#13;
Wherfore men thynke the worthy blame&#13;
Trolle into the way agayne for shame.&#13;
&#13;
¶Thou makest a trollyng hyther and thyther&#13;
Somtyme thou trollest thou canst not tell whyther&#13;
But if all thy trollynges were gathered togyther&#13;
Thy trollynge might trym the and tourne the to blame&#13;
Wherfore trolle thou nowe into the way for shame&#13;
&#13;
❧Although lord Crumwell a traytour was&#13;
yet dare I saye that the kynge of his grace&#13;
Hath forgyuen him that gret trespas&#13;
To tayle than on dead men / thou arte to blame&#13;
Trolle now into the way agayne for shame.&#13;
&#13;
❧In that that he the law hath offended&#13;
By the lawe he is iustly condempned&#13;
This mortall lyfe / full godly he ended&#13;
Wherfore to rayle thus / thou art to blame&#13;
Trolle into the way agayne for shame.&#13;
&#13;
¶For all his offences in euery thyng&#13;
He asked god mercy and grace of the kynge&#13;
And of all the wyde world / for his trāsgressyng&#13;
Thou nor no man can say nay to the same&#13;
Trolle into the way than agayne for shame&#13;
&#13;
☜Thou takest his treason for thy subtyll defence&#13;
Which nowe is departed and gone from hence&#13;
But men spye the pricke of all thy pretence&#13;
Thy owne sayenges folowyng declare the same&#13;
Trolle into the way / for fere or for shame&#13;
&#13;
¶Thou sayest he was with the church to quycke&#13;
Fauouryng none but of the new trycke&#13;
But nowe thou spurnest agaynst the prycke&#13;
And thou of force / must confesse the same&#13;
Trolle into the way agayne for shame&#13;
&#13;
☜For bysshops haue now as they haue had&#13;
If preestes wold complayne / they were to mad&#13;
Wherfore thou apperest to be a popysshe lad&#13;
For vsyng thy popery / thou arte to blame&#13;
Trolle into the way agayne for shame.&#13;
&#13;
❧For here thou vpholdest both monkes and fryers&#13;
Nunnes and noughty packes / and lewed lowsy lyers&#13;
The bysshop of Rome / with all his rotten squyers&#13;
To buylde such a church / thou arte moche to blame&#13;
Trolle nowe into the way agayne for shame.&#13;
&#13;
❧May not men thynke now in the meane ceason&#13;
That thou hast deserued by ryght and by reason&#13;
As moch as he hath done for clokynge thy treason&#13;
For he was a traytour / and thou arte the same&#13;
Trolle away papyst / god gyue the shame.&#13;
&#13;
¶The sacrament of the aulter / that is most hyest&#13;
Crumwell beleued it to be the very body of Chriest&#13;
Wherfore in thy writyng / on him thou lyest&#13;
For the kynge &amp; his counsell wyll wytnesse the same&#13;
Trolle into the waye / than agayne for shame&#13;
&#13;
☜Although that he of byrth were but bace&#13;
yet was he set vp of the kynges noble grace&#13;
Wherby it appereth that thou woldest deface&#13;
The kynges royall power / dispysyng the same&#13;
Trolle away traytour / god gyue the shame.&#13;
&#13;
¶Is it thy facyon thus craftely to saye?&#13;
Let vs for the kynge / and his lordes praye&#13;
And than at the last / to trolle them awaye&#13;
With heue and how rumbelow / thy wordes be the same&#13;
Both written and printed / to thy great shame?&#13;
&#13;
☜Hast thou no man els / thou dronken soll&#13;
But the kynge and his nobles / away for to troll&#13;
It were ynough for to cost the thy poll&#13;
Both thyne and all other / that wold do the same&#13;
Trolle away traytoure / god gyue the shame.&#13;
&#13;
¶A prety wyse printer belyke he was&#13;
Which of his printyng / so lytell doth pas&#13;
To print such pylde poetry / as this same was&#13;
Lyke maker / lyke printer / two trolles of the game&#13;
A payre of good papystes / ye be payne of shame&#13;
&#13;
☜God send all traytours their hole desa•tes&#13;
God send small toye / to all popysshe hartes&#13;
And euyll hap to as many as do take their partes&#13;
God send their purpose neuer to frame&#13;
But trolle them away with sorow and shame.&#13;
&#13;
¶I pray god thou be not fownde one of those&#13;
That peruarteth the people / as I suppose&#13;
From redyng of gods worde / that goodly rose&#13;
Where the counsell commaundeth to occupy the same&#13;
Thou traytor allurest them this fayre floure to defame.&#13;
&#13;
❧God preserue and kepe the kynges noble grace&#13;
With prince Edwarde his sonne / to succede in his place&#13;
God kepe them amonge vs / longe tyme and space&#13;
Let all his true subiectes / say Amen to the same&#13;
And they that wold otherwyse / god send them shame.&#13;
&#13;
¶Finis.&#13;
