Compare 1577 edition: 1 The French king aduertised hereof, then being in displeasure with king Henrie, sent into Ireland for Perkin, to the intent to send him against king Hen|rie, which was then inuading France (as yée before haue heard.) Perkin thought himselfe aloft, now that he was called to the familiaritie of kings, and therefore with all diligence sailed into France, and comming to the kings presence,Perkin [...]|leth into France [...] af [...]ant was of him roiallie receiued, and after a princelie fashion interteined, and had a gard to him assigned, whereof was gouer|nour the lord Congreshall: and to him being at Pa|ris, resorted sir George Neuill bastard, sir Iohn Tailor, Rowland Robinson, and an hundred Eng|lish rebels. Now, after that a peace (as before is said) was concluded betwixt the French king, and the king of England, the French king dismissed Perkin, and would no longer kéepe him.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 But some haue said (which were there attending on him) that Perkin, fearing least the French king should deliuer him to the king of England, beguiled the lord Congreshall, and fled from Paris by night. But whether the French king knew of his depar|ture or not, the truth is,Perkin re [...]neth to the ladie Marga|ret his first founder. that he being in maner in de|spaire, returned to his first founder the ladie Marga|ret, of whome he was so welcomed to all outward appearance, that it séemed she could not haue reioised at anie earthlie thing more, than she did at his pre|sence, and (as she could well dissemble) she made sem|blance as though she had neuer séene him before that time. Now as she had sore longed to know not once, but diuerse times in open audience, and in solemne presence, she willed him to declare and shew by what means he was preserued from death and destruction, and in what countries he had wandered and sought fréendship; and finallie, by what chance of fortune he came to hir court.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 This did shée, to the intent that by the open decla|ration of these fained phantasies, the people might be persuaded to giue credit, and beléeue that he was the true begotten sonne of hir brother king Edward. And after this, shee assigned to him a gard of thirtie persons in murrie and blew, and highlie honoured him as a great estate,Perkin n [...]|med by the dutches of Burgognie the white ro [...]e of England. and called him the white rose of England. The nobilitie of Flanders did to him all reuerence. [All which port and pompe exhibited in most solemne sort, he was well content to take vpon him, forgetting the basenesse of his birth, and glori|eng in the counterfeit title of honour:149 [...] much like the iay that would be called a swan, or like the crow that trimming hir selfe with the stolne feathers of a pecocke, would séeme Iunos bird; as the poet saith:

—mentito nomine cygnumM. Pal. [...]

Graculus appellat sese, cornicula plumas

Pauonis furata cupit pauo ipsa videri.
