In prosperous health did leade a quiet lyfe,

For fiue yeares space with honours laden rife.

43.

And to augment the fulnesse of my blisse,

Two louely children by my wife I had:

But froward hap, whose maner euer is

In chiefest ioy to make the happy sad,

Bemixt my sweete with bitternes too bad:

For while I swam in ioyes on euery side,

My louing wife, my cheifest iewell dyed.
