And first when as my father once was dead,

I gaue my selfe to all reuenge of foes,

The seruants late which stoode me not in stead,

And some physicions which my treasons did disclose,[1136]

Or such to saue their prince themselues dispose,

Or reconcile vs brethren tooke sore payne,

I causde them all without respect be slayne.
