After all stormes of warre were ouerblowne,
By blood gan tyrant-like t’vsurpe the throne:
For without cause the royall blood he spilt
Of Edmund’s brother Edwin, void of guilt.

King Edmund’s sonnes, those faultlesse infants twaine,
Edmund and Edward by his sterne decree,
Were sent vnto the Norway king hight Swaine,
He being design’d to act their death: but hee
Lamenting their mishaps, did set them free,
