Then all the world, when euer it were proou’d;

But Cordeill said she lou’d him, as behoou’d:

Whose simple answere, wanting colours faire

To paint it forth, him to displeasance moou’d,

That in his crowne he counted her no haire,

But twixt the other twaine his kingdome whole did shaire.

So wedded th’one to Maglan king of Scots, xxix

And th’other to the king of Cambria,

And twixt them shayrd his realme by equall lots:

But without dowre the wise Cordelia[780]
