Infinite mischiefes of them do arize,

Strife,[660] and debate, bloudshed, and bitternesse,

Outrageous wrong, and hellish couetize,

That noble heart as[661] great dishonour doth despize.

Ne thine be kingdomes, ne the scepters thine; xiii

But realmes and rulers thou doest both confound,

And loyall truth to treason doest incline;

Witnesse the guiltlesse bloud pourd oft on ground,

The crowned often slaine, the slayer cround,

The sacred Diademe in peeces rent,
