Thirdly the Dane did heere long time remaine,
And lastly Normans ouer vs did raigne.

Thus seest thou fortune’s vnimpeached force,
And what it hath been in our Britaine state:
By this thou seest her wheeles inconstant course,
And how on earth nor prince, nor potentate,
Can long withstand her ruine-thirsting hate,
Which my true storie’s sad catastrophe
Vnto the sonnes of men can testifie.
