The worthy workes of women to repeate,

Though their renowne and due deserts be great.

For I by byrth to Coel daughter deare,

King Lucy was my good grand-mother’s sonne,

My father dead, I rulde his kyngdome heere,

And afterwarde the world so wide I wonne.

I empresse was of all vnder the sunne,

I liued long, I dyde with perfect blisse,

Yet writers will repeate no word of this.
