The Albaynes all subdude to Humber’s crowne:
Yet straight againe the straunger drownde to bee,
To leese his conquest, kingdomes, and renowme.
Sith Fortune so sets vp and thirleth downe,
The setled minde content I counte is blest,
Reporting true the golden meane is best.

Loe how vaine glory causde him venter life,
By seas to sayle, by land in fielde to fighte,[238]
In peace at home abroade to fish for strife,
