Of griesly Pluto she the daughter was,
2 And sad Proserpina the Queene of hell;
Yet did she thinke her pearelesse +worth+ to pas
4 That parentage, with pride so did she swell,
And thundring Ioue, that high in heauen doth dwell,
6 And wield the world, she claymed for her syre,
Or if that any else did Ioue excell:
8 For to the highest she did still aspyre,
Or if ought higher were then that, did it desyre.
