queen eleanor's confession. 213
The king pull'd off his fryar's coat,
And appeared all in red ; Sho shriek'd, she cry'd, and wrung her hands, "
And said she was betray'd.
The King look'd over his left shoulder,
And a grim look looked he ; And said, " Earl Marshal, but for my oath,
Or hanged shouldst thou be." so |

From Kinloch's Ancient Scottish Ballads, 247.
The Queen fell sick, and very, very sick,
She was sick, and like to dee, And she sent for a friar oure frae France,
Her cdnfessour to be.
King Henry, when he heard o' that, »
An angry man was he ; And he sent to the Earl Marshall,
Attendance for to gie.
" The Queen is sick," King Henry cried, "And wants to be beshriven ; 10
She has sent for a friar oure frae France; By the rude, he were better in heaven! |
