as is sayde before.
For whan none but pore coliars
dyd wyth coales mell,
At a reasonable pryce
They dyd theyr coales sell.
But sence oure knighte Coliars
haue hadde the firste sale
We haue payde muche money
and had fewe sackes to tale.
A lode that of late yeres
for a royall was solde,
Wyll coste nowe .xvi.s.
of syluer or golde.
God graunte these men grace
their pollynge to refrayne.
Or els brynge them backe
to theyr olde state agayne.
And especiallye the Colier
that at Croydon doth sell,
For men thynke he is cosen
to the Coliar of hel.
