And did my facts with filthy vices staine.

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.
