But prodigies do their euents forerun.

Before the founder of that famous tower,
Which ouer lookes our Thames’ siluer cleare,
Did in the senate meet his liue’s late hower,
Horrid ostents and accents full of feare,
To many Roman eyes did oft appeare,
The graues did open, and the dead did rise,
Filling the streets with lamentable cries.
