And him before, I saw with bitter eyes
2 The bold Sansfoy shrinke vnderneath his speare;
And now the pray of fowles in field he lyes,
4 Nor wayld of friends, nor laid on groning beare,
That whylome was to me too dearely deare.
6 O what of Gods then boots it to be borne,
If old Aveugles sonnes so euill heare?
8 Or who shall not great +Nightes+ children scorne,
When two of three her Nephews are so fowle forlorne?
