Of blacke despaire, till death tooke life from Swaine,
Then th’english peeres shooke off the heauie yoke
Of forren pride, which they did erst sustaine,
And did recall my father home againe,
Who did enforce by power of his strong hand
Canute the sonne of Swaine to leaue this land.

Then did he seeke to reerect againe
The ruines of his crowne’s collapsed state:
But he, t’whom at his birth heauen did ordaine
