Misgouern’d both my Kingdome and my life,
I gaue my selfe to ease, to sleepe, and sinne:
And I had clawbackes euen in Court full rife,
Which sought by mine outrages gaines to winne.[517]
For Kinges no sooner well or worse beginne,
But euen at hand the good or bad take payn,
For vertue’s sake, or meede, the Prince to trayne.
