Long time I flourisht with prosperitie,

In slothfull Harrold’s daies my house began

With many valiant sonnes to multiplie,

Who after came to great authoritie,

Of whom hereafter I intend to tell,

Hearken meane while what vnto me befell.

31.

Hearken ye glory-thirsting men, and heare

Iudgement of wreakful wrath powr’d downe by Ioue

On me, and on my house, that all may feare,
