The stout duke Robert, who in th’hopefull spring
Of his greene youth, rebels against the king,
His hopes deluded sets his heart on fire,
He fights succesfully against his sire,
Is absent, when his father leaues to liue,
Who to his second sonne the crowne doth giue,
The duke returnes, finds Rufus on the throne,
Both rise in armes, but gold doth make th’attone,
Robert to Palestine with Godfrey goes,
Wins fame in field against the Pagan foes,
