And changing all that forme of common weale,

The liberty of women did repeale,

Which they had long vsurpt; and them restoring

To mens subiection, did true Iustice deale:

That all they as a Goddesse her adoring,

Her wisedome did admire, and hearkned to her loring.

For all those Knights, which long in captiue shade xliii

Had shrowded bene, she did from thraldome free;

And magistrates of all that city made,

And gaue to them great liuing and large fee:
