When as this desperate Queene had ended thus

Her tale, and tolde the haplesse grace she had:

As of her playnte som poyntes I did discusse,

Her sisters dealings were (mee thought) to bad.

Her cosens cruell both, for Kingdomes mad.

Her owne estate most pityfull to see,

A Queene by kinred captiue kepte to bee.
