Then taking Cong{e/} of that virgin pure,
2 The bloudy-handed babe vnto her truth
Did earnestly commit, and her coniure,
4 In vertuous lore to traine his tender youth,
And all that gentle noriture ensu'th:
6 And that so soone as ryper yeares he raught,
He might for memorie of that dayes ruth,
8 Be called Ruddymane, and thereby taught,
T'auenge his Parents death on them, that had it wrought.
