Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 When he came to the Tower hill, the noble men that were about him, mooued him right earnestlie to EEBO page image 492 acknowledge his treason against the king. But he in no wise would so doo, but mainteined that he was neuer traitour in word or deed: and herewith percei|uing the earles of Notingham and Kent, that stood by with other noble men busie to further the executi|on (being as yée haue heard) of kin and alied to him, he spake to them, and said:

Trulie it would haue be|séemed you rather to haue béene absent than here at this businesse. But the time will come yer it be long, when as manie shall meruell at your misfortune as doo now at mine.

It is verie well, doo that thou hast to doo quick|lie, and so knéeling downe, the executioner with one stroke, strake off his head: his bodie was buried to|gither with his head in the church of the Augustine friers in Breadstréet within the citie of London.The executiõ of the earle of Arundell.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The death of this earle was much lamented a|mong the people, considering his sudden fall and mi|s [...]rable end, where as not long before among all the noblemen of this land (within the which was such a number, as no countrie in the world had greater store at that present) there was none more esteemed: so noble and valiant he was, that all men spake ho|nour of him. After his death, as the fame went, the king was sore vexed in his sléepe with horrible dreames, imagining that he saw this earle appeare vnto him threatning him, & putting him in horrible feare, as if he had said with the poet to king Richard;

Ouid.Nunc quó factorum venio memor vmbra tuorum,

Insequor & vultus ossea forma tuos.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 With which visions being sore troubled in sleepe, he curssed the daie that euer he knew the earle. And he was the more vnquiet, bicause he heard it repor|ted, that the common people tooke the erle for a mar|tyr, insomuch that some came to visit the place of his sepulture, for the opinion they had conceiued of his holinesse. And where it was bruted abroad as for a miracle, that his head should be growne to his bodie againe, the tenth daie after his buriall, the king sent about ten of the clocke in the night, certeine of the nobilitie to sée his bodie taken vp, that he might be certified of the truth. Which doone, and perceiuing it was a fable, he commanded the friers to take downe his armes that were set vp about the place of his bu|riall, and to couer the graue, so as it should not be perceiued where he was buried.
