What will ye, my poor orphans, do,

When I must leave the world and you;

Who'll give ye then a sheltering shed,

Or credit ye, when I am dead?

Who'll let ye by their fire sit,

Although ye have a stock of wit,

Already coin'd to pay for it?

—I cannot tell: unless there be

Some race of old humanity

Left, of the large heart and long hand,

Alive, as noble Westmorland;

Or gallant Newark; which brave two

May fost'ring fathers be to you.

If not, expect to be no less

Ill used, than babes left fatherless.
