Donwallo dyde (for what may liue for ay?)
2 And left two sonnes, of pearelesse prowesse both;
That sacked Rome too dearely did assay,
4 The recompence of their periured oth,
And ransackt Greece well tryde, when they were wroth;
6 Besides subiected Fraunce, and Germany,
Which yet their prayses speake, all be they loth,
8 And inly tremble at the memory
Of Brennus and Bellinus, kings of Britany.
