To graunt to her, her sonnes life, which his foe

A cruell Tyrant had presumpteouslie[236]

By wicked doome condemn’d, a wretched death to die.

To whom God Neptune softly smyling, thus; xxx

Daughter me seemes of double wrong ye plaine,

Gainst one that hath both wronged you, and vs:

For death t’adward[237] I ween’d did appertaine

To none, but to the seas sole Soueraine.

Read therefore who it is, which this hath wrought,

And for what cause; the truth discouer plaine.
