Reading edition
The king thus transcendyng the limittes of his lawe, Not raygning but raging by youthfull insolence, Wise and wurthy persons did fro the courte wythdraw, There was no grace ne place for auncient prudence: Presumpcion and pryde with excesse of expence, Possessed the palays and pillage the countrye; Thus all went to wracke vnlike of remedye. 1559, 63.
