And euen the name thereof makes men full euill[1150] of parties deeme:
For why, th’vnhappy slayne moues milder men to mercy still,
And noble Peeres are enui’de when compel’de theyr foes they kill,
The vanquisht iniur’de seeme, and victours deem’de vniustly ill.
But who so euer shall this case it selfe with trueth perpende
Not partially that deemes, ensearching what hee did pretend:
Hee shall perceiue and finde it better farre and needefull more
To wrecke the wrong, then wincke thereat, and after smarte therfore.
For, to the slayne beside his woe, there comes a dastarde’s name,
The victour hath beside his health, of fortitude the fame.
