My life (I feel) doth fade, and sorrows flow,

The rather that my name is thus extinct;

In this respect, so Mordred did succeed,

O that myself had fall’n and Mordred liv’d!

That having conquer’d all my foes but him,

I mought have left you him, that conquer’d me.

O heavy, wretched lot! to be the last

That falls! to view the burial of my realm!

Where each man else hath felt his several fate,

I only pine, oppress’d with all their fates!
