• The Death of Queen Jane

Queen Jane lay in labour for six days or more,
Till the womenfolk grew weary and the midwives gave o'er.
King Henry, was sent for with horseback and speed
For to be with Queen Jane in the hour of her need.

He went to her bedside, "How comes this, my flow'r?
I come to ye direct, in less time than an hour."

"King Henry, King Henry, I take you to be,
And cut my side open, and save your baby."
"Oh, no, said King Henry, that never could be.
If I can lose my fair flower, I'll lose my baby"

<...>

Saying “The flower of all England will flourish no more”
He sat by the river with his head in his hands
Saying “My merry England's a sorrowful land”.
