The things we do!

In the introduction to _Arden of Feversham_ I intend to return to the
consideration of Yarington's _Two Tragedies_.


Two Lamentable Tragedies.

The one, of the Murther of _Maister_ Beech A _Chaundler in_
Thames-streete, and his boye, done by _Thomas Merry_.
_The other of a Young childe murthered_ in a Wood by two Ruffins, _with
the consent of his Vnckle_.
By ROB. YARINGTON.
LONDON.
Printed for _Mathew Lawe, and are to be solde at _his Shop in Paules
Church-yarde neere vnto S. Austines Gate, at the signe of the Foxe_.
1601.


Two Tragedies in One.

_Enter Homicide, solus_.
I have in vaine past through each stately streete,
And blinde-fold turning of this happie towne,
For wealth, for peace, and goodlie government,
Yet can I not finde out a minde, a heart
For blood and causelesse death to harbour in;
They all are bent with vertuous gainefull trade,
To get their needmentes for this mortall life,
And will not soile their well-addicted harts
With rape, extortion, murther, or the death
Of friend or foe, to gaine an Empery.
