The anchor strong, whereby my ship did stay,

Some other shift to seeke him did behoue,

Whereto ere long ill fortune made the way,

Which finally was cause of my decay

And cruell death, contriued by my foes,

Which fell out thus, as now I shall disclose.

37.

Elianor my wife, my duches only deare,

I knowe not howe, but as the nature is

Of women all, aye curious to enquire
