For this my sinne my subiectes hated mee,

Repining still my stayned life to see:

As when the Prince is wholy giuen to vice,

And holdes the lewder sort in greatest price,

The land decayes, disorder [sprouts and] springes abroade,

The worser sort do robbe, pille, polle, and spoyle,

The weaker are constraynd to[690] beare the greatest loade,

And leese the goodes for which [full sore] they erst did toyle.
