Preface

T he positive responses of instructors and students who used the previous six edi-
tions of this text have been gratifying—and have led to the new seventh edition
that you hold in your hands. This new edition represents a renewed commitment
to the goals I initially set when writing the first edition. These goals have not changed
with the passage of time. My initial and still ongoing goals are to write a text in which:
jj The needs are simultaneously met for the many students in the fields of nursing,
allied health, biological sciences, agricultural sciences, food sciences, and public
health who are required to take such a course.
jj The development of chemical topics always starts out at ground level. The stu-
dents who will use this text often have little or no background in chemistry and
hence approach the course with a good deal of trepidation. This “ground level”
approach addresses this situation.
jj The amount and level of mathematics is purposefully restricted. Clearly, some
chemical principles cannot be divorced entirely from mathematics and, when
this is the case, appropriate mathematical coverage is included.
jj The early chapters focus on fundamental chemical principles, and the later
­chapters—built on these principles—develop the concepts and applications cen-
tral to the fields of organic chemistry and biochemistry.

New Features Added to the Seventh Edition


Two new features are present in this seventh edition of the text. They are: (1) Section
Quick Quizzes, and (2) Section Learning Focus Statements.
Section Quick Quizzes: Each section in each chapter of the text now ends with
a “Section Quick Quiz.” Depending on the section length and the number of con-
cepts covered, the quick quiz consists of two to six multiple choice questions which
highlight the key terms and concepts covered in the section that a student should be
aware of after the initial reading of the text section. Answers to the quick quiz ques-
tions are given immediately following the set of questions. The word “quick” in the
phrase “quick quiz” is significant. The questions are designed to generate immedi-
ate answers. In most cases a time of no more than a minute is sufficient to complete
the quiz.
Two important purposes for this new quick quiz feature are: (1) to serve as a
guide to the most important terms and concepts found in the section under study, and
(2) to serve as an important review system for a student when he or she is studying for
an upcoming class exam on the subject matter under study.
Learning Focus Statements: Learning focus statements are now found at the begin-
ning of each section in each chapter of the text. These statements provide the student
with insights into the focus of the section in terms of topics covered and the needed
learning outcomes associated with these topics.

Important Continuing Features in the Seventh Edition


Focus on Biochemistry Most students taking this course have a greater interest in
the biochemistry portion of the course than the preceding two parts. But biochem-
istry, of course, cannot be understood without a knowledge of the fundamentals of

x Preface

organic chemistry, and understanding organic chemistry in turn depends on knowing


the key concepts of general chemistry. Thus, in writing this text, I essentially started
from the back and worked forward. I began by determining what topics would be
considered in the biochemistry chapters and then tailored the organic and then gen-
eral sections to support that presentation. Users of the previous editions confirm that
this approach ensures an efficient but thorough coverage of the principles needed to
understand biochemistry.
Art Program See the story of general, organic, and biological chemistry come alive
on each page! In addition to the narrative, the art and photography program helps tell
a very important story—the story of ourselves and the world around us. Chemistry is
everywhere! An integrated talking label system in the art and photography program
gives key figures a “voice” and helps students learn more effectively.
Emphasis on Visual Support I believe strongly in visual reinforcement of key con-
cepts in a textbook; thus this book uses art and photos wherever possible to teach
key concepts. Artwork is used to make connections and highlight what is important
for the student to know. Reaction equations use color to emphasize the portions of
a molecule that undergo change. Colors are likewise assigned to things like valence
shells and classes of compounds to help students follow trends. Computer-generated,
three-dimensional molecular models accompany many discussions in the organic and
biochemistry sections of the text. Color photographs show applications of chemistry
to help make concepts real and more readily remembered. The following example is
representative of the art program.

Chemistry at a Glance Visual summaries called Chemistry at a Glance pull together


material from several sections of a chapter to help students see the larger picture.
Representative of such features are those entitled

jj Types of Glycosidic Linkages for Disaccharides and Polysaccharides
(Section 7-17)
jj Types of Lipids in Terms of How They Function (Section 8-14)

Chemical Connections In every chapter Chemical Connection boxes emphasize
the relevancy of chemical topics under consideration. They focus on issues relevant
to a student’s own life in terms of health issues, societal issues, and environmental
issues. Representative of issues selected for ­Chemical Connection coverage are the
following:
jj Chlorofluorocarbons and the Ozone Layer (Section 1-18)
jj Red Wine and Resveratrol (Section 3-14)
jj Alkaloids Present in Chocolate (Section 6-11)
jj The Fatty Content of Tree Nuts and Peanuts (Section 8-4)
New topics selected for Chemical Connection emphasis in this edition are:
jj Edible Fiber and Health (Section 7-17)
jj The Circadian Clock: Clock Genes (Section 11-9)
jj EPO: Red Blood Cells, Mutations, and Athletic Performance (Section 11-13)
jj Adenosine Phosphates and Muscle Relaxation/Contraction (Section 12-3)
jj Phytochemicals: Compounds with Color and Antioxidant Properties
(Section 12-11)
Updated Chemical Connection boxes include
jj Caffeine: A Widely Used Central Nervous System Stimulant (Section 6-9)
jj Lactose Intolerance or Lactase Persistence (Section 7-13)
jj Trans Fatty Acid Content of Foods (Section 8-6)
jj Enzymes, Prescription Medications and the “Grapefruit Effect”
(Section 10-11)
Commitment to Student Learning In addition to the study help Chemistry at a
Glance offers, the text is built on a strong foundation of learning aids designed to help
students master the course material.
jj Problem-solving pedagogy. Because problem solving is often difficult for stu-
dents in this course to master, I have taken special care to provide support to
help students build their skills. Within the chapters, worked-out Examples fol-
low the explanation of many concepts. These examples walk students through
the thought processes involved in problem solving, carefully outlining all of the
steps involved.
Diversity of Worked-out Examples Worked-out examples are a standard feature
in the general chemistry portion of all textbooks for this market. This relates pri-
marily to the mathematical nature of many general chemistry topics. In most texts,
fewer worked-out examples appear in the organic chemistry chapters, and still fewer
(almost none) are found in the biochemistry portion due to decreased dependence of
the topical matter on mathematical concepts. Such is not the case in this textbook.
All chapters in the latter portions of the text contain numerous worked-out examples.
Several additional worked-out examples have been added to this new edition. Topics
for worked out examples include the following:
jj Classifying Alcohols as Primary, Secondary, or Tertiary (Section 3-8)
jj Generating Structural Formulas for Carboxylic Acids From Their Names
(Section 5-3)

jj Margin notes. Liberally distributed throughout the text, margin notes provide
tips for remembering and distinguishing between concepts, highlight links
across chapters, and describe interesting historical background information.
jj Defined terms. All definitions are highlighted in the text when they are first pre-
sented, using boldface and italic type. Each defined term appears as a complete
sentence; students are never forced to deduce a definition from context. In addi-
tion, the definitions of all terms appear in the combined Index/Glossary found
at the end of the text. A major emphasis in this new edition has been “refine-
ments” of the defined terms. All defined terms were reexamined to see if they
could be stated with greater clarity. The result was a “rewording” of many de-
fined terms.
jj Concepts to Remember review. A concise review of key concepts presented in
each chapter appears at the end of the chapter, placed just before the end-of-
chapter problems. This is a helpful aid for students as they prepare for exams.
jj End-of-chapter problems. An extensive set of end-of-chapter problems comple-
ments the worked-out examples within the chapters. These end-of-chapter prob-
lems are organized by topic and paired, with each pair testing similar material.
The answer to the odd-numbered member of the pair is given at the back of the
book are two problem-set features:
Problems denoted with a ▲ involve concepts found not only in the section un-
der consideration but also concepts found in one or more earlier sections of
the chapter.

Content Changes Coverage of a number of topics has been expanded in this edi-
tion. The two driving forces in expanded coverage considerations were (1) the requests
of users and reviewers of the previous editions and (2) my desire to incorporate new
research findings, particularly in the area of biochemistry, into the text. Topics with
expanded coverage include:
jj Preparation of Alkenes (Section 2-9)
jj Functional Group Isomerism (Section 3-7)
jj Alcohol Condensation Reactions (Section 3-9)
jj Carboxylic Acid Decarboxylation Reactions (Section 5-9)
jj OxyContin Formulations (Section 6-12)
jj Medical Uses of Enzymes (Section 10-11)
jj Fat-Soluble Vitamins (Section 10-15)
jj The Human Transcriptome (Section 11-9)
jj Mutations (Section 11-13)
jj Transamination Reactions (Section 15-3)
jj Proteins and the Element Sulfur (Section 15-8)

1-1 Organic and Inorganic Compounds


L e a r n i n g F oc u s
Understand the historical and modern definitions for the terms organic chemistry and
inorganic chemistry.

During the latter part of the eighteenth century and the early part of the
nineteenth century, chemists began to categorize compounds into two types:
organic and inorganic. Compounds obtained from living organisms were
called organic compounds, and compounds obtained from mineral constitu-
ents of Earth were called inorganic compounds.
During this early period, chemists believed that a special “vital force”
supplied by a living organism was necessary for the formation of an organic

Learning Focus
Know the general molecular formula for alkanes and the structural characteristic common to all
alkanes.

An alkane is a saturated hydrocarbon in which the carbon atom arrangement is acy-


clic. Thus an alkane is a hydrocarbon that contains only carbon–carbon single bonds
(saturated) and has no rings of carbon atoms (acyclic).

The molecular formulas of all alkanes fit the general formula CnH2n+2, where n is
the number of carbon atoms present. The number of hydrogen atoms present in an
alkane is always twice the number of carbon atoms plus two more, as in C4H10, C5H12,
and C8H18.
The three simplest alkanes are methane (CH 4), ethane (C 2H6), and propane
(C3H8). Three different methods for showing the three-dimensional structures of these
simplest of all alkanes are given in Figure 1-3. They are dash-wedge-line structures,
ball-and-stick models, and space-filling models. Note how each carbon atom in each
of the models participates in four bonds (Section 1-2). Note also that the geometri-
cal arrangement of atoms about each carbon atom is tetrahedral, an arrangement
consistent with the principles of VSEPR theory. The tetrahedral arrangement of the
atoms bonded to alkane carbon atoms is fundamental to understanding the structural
aspects of organic chemistry.

To Calais got, whence, by the reade I gaue,
They came agayne to London, and did gather
An other hoast whereof I spake not[1000] rather:
And met our foes, slewe many a lord and knight,
And tooke the king, and draue the queene to flight.

17.

This done I came[1001] to England all in haste,


To make a[1002] claime vnto the realme and crowne:
And in the house while parliament did last,
I in the kinge’s seat boldly[1003] sate mee downe,
And claymed it, whereat[1004] the lordes did frowne,
But what for that? I did so well proceede,
That all at last confest it mine indeede.[1005]

18.

But sith the king had raigned now so long,[1006]


They would hee should continue till hee dyed,
And to the end, that than none did mee wrong,[1007]
Protector and heyre apparant they mee[1008] cryed:
But sith the queene and others this denyed,
I sped mee towardes the north, where then shee lay,
In minde by force to cause her to obay.[1009]

19.

Whereof shee warnd preparde a mighty powre,


And ere that mine were altogether ready,
Came swift to Sandale[1010] and besieged my bowre:
Where like a beast I was so rash and heady,
That out I would, there could be no remedy,
With scant fiue thousand souldiers, to assayle
Fowre times so many, encampt to most auayle.[1011]

20.

And so was slaine at first: and while my childe


Scarse twelue yeare old, sought secretly to parte,
That cruell Clifford, lord, nay lorell wylde,
While the infant[1012] wept, and prayed him rue his smart,
Knowing what hee was, with dagger cloue his heart:[1013]
This done, he came to th’camp where I lay dead,
Despoylde my corps and cut away my head.

21.
And when he had put a paper crowne thereon,
As a gawring stocke he sent it to the queene:[1014]
And shee for spite commaunded it anon
To be had to Yorke: where that it mought[1015] bee
seene,
They placed it where other traytors beene:
This mischiefe fortune did mee after death:
Such was my life, and such my losse of breath.[1016]

22.

Wherefore see, Baldwine, that thou set it forth,


To th’end the fraude of fortune may bee knowen,
That eke all princes well[1017] may way the worth
Of thinges, for which the seedes[1018] of warre be sowen:
No state so sure but soone is ouerthrowen:[1019]
No worldly good can counterpeyze the prise
Of halfe the paynes that may thereof arise.

23.

Far[1020] better it were to lose a piece of right,


Than lymmes and life in sousing[1021] for the same:
It is not force of friendship, nor of might,
But God that causeth thinges to fro or frame,[1022]
Not wit but lucke[1023] doth wield the winner’s game:
Wherefore if wee our follyes would refrayne,
Time would redresse all wronges, wee voyde of payne.

24.

Wherefore warne princes not to wade[1024] in war


For any cause, except the realme’s defence:[1025]
Theyr troublous titles are vnworthy far
The bloud, the life, the spoyle of innocence:
Of friendes, of foes,[1026] behold my foule[1027] expence,
And neuer the neare: best therefore tary time,
So right shall raigne, and quyet calme ech crime.[1028]
[With that[1029] maister Ferrers shooke mee by the sleue, saying:
“Why how now man, do you forget your selfe? belike you minde our
matters very much.” “So I doe indeede,” sayd I,[1030] “for I dreame of
them.” And whan I had rehersed my dreame, wee had long talke
concerning the nature of dreames, which to stint, and to bring vs to
our matter agayne, thus sayd one of them: “I am glad it was your
chaunce to dreame of duke Richard, for it had bene pity to haue
ouerpassed him. And as concerning this lord Clyfford which so
cruely killed his sonne, I purpose to gieue you notes: who (as hee
well deserued) came shortly after to a sodayne death, and yet too
good for so cruell a tyrant. [For on Palmesonday next following,
being the xxix day[1031] of March, in the yeare of Christ a thousand
four hundreth threescore and one, this lord Clyfford with Henry Percy
the thirde earle of Northumberland, the earle of Westmerland, the
lord Dacres, the lord Welles, and other were slayn at Towton in
Yorkeshyre.][1032] Wherefore as you thought you saw and hearde
the headles duke speake through his necke, so now[1033] suppose
you see this lord Clyfford, all armed saue his head, with his brest
plate all gore bloud running from his throate wherein an headlesse
arrow sticketh through which wound hee sayth thus.”[1034]]
How the Lorde Clyfford for his
straunge and abhominable cruelty
came to as straunge and sodayne a
death,[1035] Anno 1461.[1036]
1.

Open confession axeth open pennaunce,


And wisdome would a man his shame to hyde:[1037]
Yet sith forgieuenes commeth through repentaunce,
I thinke it best that men theyr crimes ascride,
For nought so secret but at length is spyed:
For couer fire, and it will neuer lynne
Till it breake forth, in like case shame and sinne.[1038]

2.

As for my selfe my faultes be out so playne,


And published [so] abroade[1039] in euery place,
That though I would I cannot hide a grayne.[1040]
All care is bootelesse in a curelesse case,
To learne by other’s griefe,[1041] some haue the grace:
And therefore, Baldwine, write my[1042] wretched fall,
The briefe whereof I briefly vtter shall.

3.

I am the same that[1043] slue duke Richard’s childe,


The louely babe that begged[1044] life with teares,
Whereby mine honour[1045] fouly I defilde:
Poore sely lambes the lion neuer teares,
The feeble mouse may ly among the beares,
But wrath of man, his rancour to requite,
Forgets all reason, ruth, and vertue[1046] quite.

4.

I meane by rancour the parentall[1047] wreke


Surnamde a vertue, as the vicious[1048] say,
But litle knowe the wicked[1049] what they speake,
In boldening vs[1050] our enmyes kin to slay:
To punish sinne is good, it is no nay:
They wreke not sinne, but merit wreke for sinne,
That wreke the father’s fault vpon[1051] his kinne.

5.

Because my father lord Iohn Clyfford, dyed,


Slayne at S. Albane’s, in his prince’s ayde,
Agaynst the duke my heart for malice fryed,
So that I could from wreck no way bee stayed,
But to auenge my father’s death, assayde
All meanes I might the duke of Yorke t’annoy,[1052]
And all his kin and friendes to kill and stroy.[1053]

6.

This made mee with my bloudy[1054] dagger wound


His guiltlesse sonne, that neuer agaynst mee storde:
His father’s body lying dead on ground
To pearce with speare, eke with my cruell sworde,
To part his necke, and with his head to bourd
Enuested with a royall paper[1055] crowne,
From place to place to beare it vp and downe.[1056]

7.
But cruelty[1057] can neuer scape the scourge
Of shame, of horror, or of sodayne death:[1058]
Repentaunce selfe, that other sinnes may pourge,
Doth fly from this, so sore the soule it slayeth:
Despayre dissolues the tyraunt’s bitter[1059] breath:
For sodayn vengeaunce sodaynly alightes
On cruell deedes,[1060] to quite theyr cruell spights.
[1061]

8.

This finde I true, for as I lay in stale,


To fight with[1062] duke Richard’s eldest son,
I was destroyde not far[1063] from Dintingdale,
For as I would my gorget haue vndon
To euent[1064] the heat that had mee nigh vndone,
An headles arrow strake mee through the throte,
Where through my soule forsooke his fylthy cote.[1065]

9.

Was this a chaunce? no sure, God’s iust awarde,


Wherein due[1066] iustice playnly doth appeare:
An headlesse arrow payde mee my rewarde:[1067]
For heading Richard lying on his[1068] bere,
And as I would his childe in no wise heare,
So sodayne death bereft my tongue the power
To aske for pardon at my dying[1069] hower.

10.

Wherefore, good Baldwine, warne the[1070] bloudy sort,


To leaue theyr wrath, theyr[1071] rigour to refrayne:
Tell cruell judges horror is the port
Through which they sayle to shame[1072] and sodayn
payne:[1073]
Hell haleth[1074] tyrauntes downe to death amayne:
Was neuer yet, nor shal be cruell deede,
Left vnrewarded with as[1075] cruell meede.
[Whan this tragedy was ended: “O Lord,” sayd[1076] another,
“how horrible a thing is diuision in a realme, to how many mischiefes
is it the mother, what vice is not therby kindled, what vertue left
vnquenched? for what was the cause of the duke of Yorke’s death,
and of the cruelty of this Clyfford, saue[1077] the variaunce betwene
king Henry and the house of Yorke? which at length, besides millions
of the commons, brought to destruction all the[1078] nobility. For
Edward the duke’s eldest son immediately after his[1079] father was
slayn, through help of the Neuills, gaue the king a battayle, whereat,
besides this Clyfford, and xxxvi thousand other souldiers, were slain
theyr captaynes, the earles[1080] of Northumberland and
Westmerland, with the lordes Dacres and Welles: the[1081] winning
of which fielde brought Edward to the crowne, and the losse draue
king Henry and his wife into Scotland. But as few raignes begin
without bloud, so king Edward to keepe order,[1082] caused Thomas
Courtney earle of Deuonshyre, and Iohn Veer earle of Oxeforde, and
Aubrey Veer eldest sonne to the sayd earle, with diuers[1083] other
his enemies,[1084] to bee attaynted and put to death. And shortly
after he[1085] did execution vpon the duke of Somerset, and the
lordes Hungerford and Rosse, whom he toke prisoners at Exham
fielde. For thither they came with[1086] king Henry out of Scotland,
with an army of Scottes, and fought a battayle, which was lost, and
the most[1087] part of them slayn.[1088] And because these are all
noble men, I will leaue them to Baldwine’s discretion. But seyng the
earle of Worcester was the chiefe instrument whom king Edward
vsed as well in these men’s matters as in like bloudy affayres,
because he should not be forgotten, yee shall here what I haue
noted concerning his tragedy.”[1089]]
The infamovs end of the Lord Tiptoft
Earle of Worcester, for cruelly
executing his Prince’s butcherly
commaundementes, An. 1470.[1090]
1.

The glorious man is not so loth to lurke,


As the infamous glad to lye vnknowen:
Which makes mee, Baldwine, disalow thy worke,
Where prince’s faultes so openly be blowen:
I speake not this alonly for mine owne,
Which were my prince’s (if that they were any)
But for my peeres, in nombre very many.

2.

Or might report vprightly vse her tong,


It would lesse greue vs to augment the matter,
But suer I am thou shalt be forst among,
To frayne the truth the liuing for to flatter,
And otherwhiles in poyntes vnknowen to smatter:
For time neuer was, nor neuer[1091] I thinke shalbe
That truth vnshent should speake in all thinges free.

3.

This doth appeare (I dare say) by my story,


Which diuers writers diuersly declare:
But story writers ought for neyther glory,
Feare, nor fauour, truth of thinges to spare?
But still it fares as alway it did fare,
Affections, feare, or doubts that dayly brue,
Doe cause that stories neuer can be true.[1092]

4.

Unfruitfull Fabian followed the face


Of tyme and dedes, but let the causes slip:
Which Hall hath added, but with double grace,[1093]
For feare I thinke lest trouble might him trip:
“For this or that,” sayeth he, “he felt the whip:”
Thus[1094] story wryters leaue the causes out,
Or so rehearse them as they were in dout.[1095]

5.

But seing causes are the chiefest thinges


That should be noted of the story wryters,
That men may learne what endes all causes bringes,
They be vnworthy the[1096] name of chroniclers
That leaue them cleane out of theyr registers,
Or doubtfully report them: for the fruite
Of reading storyes standeth in the suite.

6.

And therefore, Baldwine, eyther speake vpright[1097]


Of our affayres, or touch them not at all:
As for my selfe I way all thinges so light,
That nought I passe how men report my fall:
The truth whereof yet playnly shew I shall,
That thou mayst write and others thereby rede,
What thinges I did whereof they should take heede.

7.

Thou hast heard of[1098] Tiptoft’s earles of Worcester,


I am that lord that liu’d in Edwarde’s days
The fourth, and was his friend and counsaylour,
And butcher to, as common rumor sayes:
But people’s voyce is neyther shame nor prayse,
For whom they would aliue deuoure to day,
To morow dead they will[1099] worship what they may.

8.

But though the people’s verdit go by chaunce,


Yet was there cause to call mee as they did:
For I, enforst by meane of gouernaunce,
Did execute what euer[1100] my king did bid,
From blame herein my selfe I cannot rid:
But fye vpon the wretched state, that must
Defame it selfe, to serue the prince’s lust.

9.

The cheifest crime wherewith men doe me charge,


Is death of th’[1101] earle of Desmund’s noble sonnes,
Of which the kinge’s charge doth me clere discharge,
By strayt commaundement and iniunctions:
Th’effect whereof so rigorously runnes,
That eyther I must procure to see them dead,
Or for contempt as a traytour loose my head.[1102]

10.

What would mine enemies[1103] doe in such a case,


Obay the king or proper death procure?
They may well say theyr fancy for a face,
But life is sweete, and loue hard to recure:
They would haue done as I did, I am sure,
For seldom will a welthy man at ease
For other’s cause his prince in ought displease.
11.

How much lesse I, which was lieuetenaunt than


In th’[1104] Irish isle, preferred by the king:
But who for loue or dread of any man,
Consents t’[1105] accomplish any wicked thing,
Although chiefe fault thereof from other spring,
Shall not escape God’s vengeance for his deede,
Who scuseth none that dare doe ill for drede.

12.

This in my king and mee may well appeare,


Which for our faultes did not escape the scourge:
For whan wee thought our state most sure and clere,
The wynd of Warwicke blew vp such a sourge,
As from the realme and crowne the king did pourge,
And mee both from mine office,[1106] friendes, and
wife,
From good report, from honest death and life.

13.

For the earle of Warwicke, through a cancarde


grudge[1107]
Which to king Edward causelesse hee did beare,
Out of his realme by force did make him trudge,
And set king Henry agayne vpon his chaire:
And then all such as Edwarde’s louers were,
As traytours tane were greuously opprest,
But chiefly I, because I lou’d him best.

14.

And, for[1108] my goods and liuinges were not small,


The gapers for them bare[1109] the world in hand
For ten yeares space, that I was cause of all
The executions done[1110] within the land:
For this did such as did not vnderstand
Mine enmies drift, thinke all reportes were true:
And so did[1111] hate mee worse then any Jewe.

15.

For seldom shall a ruler lose his life,


Before false rumors openly be spred:
Wherby this prouerbe is as true as rife,
That ruler’s rumors hunt about a head,
Frowne fortune once, all good report is fled:
For present shew doth make the mayny blind,
And such as see dare not disclose their minde.

16.

Through this was I king Edward’s butcher named,


And bare the shame of all his cruell deedes:
I cleare me not, I worthely was blamed,
Though force was such I must obay him needes:
With hiest rulers seldome well it speedes,
For they be euer nerest to the nyp,
And fault who shall, for all feele they the whip.

17.

For whan I was by parliament attaynted,


King Edward’s euils all were counted mine:
No truth auayled, so lies were faste and painted,
Which made the people at my life, repine,
Crying, “Crucifige, kill that butcher’s lyne:”
That when I should haue gone to Blockham feast,
I could not passe, so sore they one me preast.

18.

And had not bene the officers so strong,


I thinke they would haue eaten[1112] me aliue,
Howbeit, hardly haled from the throng,
I was in the flete fast shrouded by the shriue:
Thus one daye’s life theyr malice did mee gieue,
Which whan they knew, for spite the next day after
They kept them calme, so suffered I the slaughter.

19.

Now tell mee, Baldwine, what fault dost thou finde


In mee, that iustly should such death deserue?
None sure except desire of honour blinde,
Which made mee seeke in offices to serue:
What minde so good that honours make not swerue?
So mayst thou see it only was my state
That caus’d my death, and brought mee so in hate.

20.

Warne therfore all men wisely to beware,


What offices they enterprise to beare:
The hiest alway most maligned are,
Of people’s grudge, and prince’s hate in feare.
For prince’s faults his faultors all men teare:
Which to auoyde, let none such office take,
Saue he that can for right his prince forsake.
[This earle’s[1113] tragedy was not so soone finished, but one of
the company had prouided for another of a notable person, lord
Tiptoft’s chiefe enemy: concerning whom hee sayd: “Lord God what
trust is there in worldly chaunces? what stay in any prosperity? for
see the earle of Warwicke which caused the earle of Worcester to be
apprehended, attainted, and put to deth, triumphing with his old
imprisoned and new vnprisoned prince, king Henry, was by and by
after, and his brother with him, slayn at Barnet field by king Edward,
whom hee had before time damaged diuers wayes. As first by his
friendes at Banbury fielde, where to reuenge the death of his cosin
Henry[1114] Neuill, syr Iohn Coniers, and Iohn Clappam, his
seruauntes, slue fiue thousand Welshmen, and beheaded theyr
captaynes, the earle of Pembroke and syr Richard Harbert his
brother, after they were yeelded prisoners: of whom syr Richard
Harbert was the tallest gentilman both of his person and handes that
euer I read or heard of. At which time also, Robin of Ridsdale,[1115] a
rebell of the earle of Warwicke’s raysing, tooke the earle Riuers, king
Edwarde’s wiue’s father, and his sonne Iohn, at his manour of
Grafton, and carried them to Northampton, and there without cause
or proces beheaded them. Which spites to requite, king Edward
caused the lord Stafford of Sowthwike, one of Warwicke’s chiefe
frendes, to be taken at Brent march, and headed at Bridgewater.
This caused the earle shortly to raise his power, to encounter the
king which came against him with an army, beside Warwicke at
Wolney, where hee wan the field, tooke the king prisoner, and kept
him a while in Yorkeshire in Middleham castle: whence (as some
say) hee released him againe, but other thinke hee corrupted hys
keepers and so escaped. Then through the lords the matter was
taken vppe betweene them, and they brought to talke togeather, but
because they could not agree, the earle araised a new army,
whereof he made captayn the lord Welles’ sonne, which broile king
Edward minding to appease by pollicy, fouly distained his honour,
committing periury: for hee sent for the lord Welles and his brother
sir Thomas Dymocke, vnder safe conduite promising them vpon his
fayth to keepe them harmelesse. But after, because the lord Welles’
sonne would not dissolue his army, beheaded them both and went
with his power into Lincolnshire and there fought with sir Robert
Welles, and slewe ten thousand of his souldiers (yet ran they away
so fast, that casting of their clothes for the more speede, caused it to
bee called Lose coate fielde) and tooke sir Robert and other, and put
them to death in the same place. This misfortune forced the earle of
Warwicke to saile into Fraunce where hee was entertained of the
king a while, and at last with such poore helpe as hee procured there
of duke Rainer and other, hee came into England againe, and
encreased such a power in king Henrie’s name, that as the lord
Typtofte sayd in his tragedy, king Edward vnable to abide him, was
faine to flie ouer the washes in Lincolnshire to get a ship to saile out
of his kingdome to his brother in lawe the duke of Burgoine. So was
king Henry restored againe to his[1116] kingdome. All these despites
and troubles the earle wrought against king Edward. But Henry was
so infortunate that ere halfe a yeare was expired, king Edward came
backe againe, and enprisoned him and gaue the earle a fielde,
wherein hee slewe both him and his brother. I haue recounted thus
much before hand for the better opening of the story, which, if it
should haue beene spoken in his tragedy, would rather haue made a
volume then a pamphlete. For I entend onely to say in the tragedy,
what I haue noted in the earle of Warwicke’s person, wishing that
these other noble men, whome I haue by the way touched, should
not bee forgotten. And therefore imagine that you see this earle lying
with his brother in Paule’s church[1117] in his coate armoure, with
such a face and countinaunce as he beareth in portraiture ouer the
dore in Paule’s, at the going down to Iesus chappell from the south
end of the quier stayres, and saying as followeth.”]
