Th’inconstant course of fortune’s froward wheele:

That Edward of Carnaruan, third from Iohn,

Is next in course, whom we must stay vpon:

He in the first spring of his fatall raigne

Recals the banisht Gaueston againe,

Exil’d before by his renowned sire,

At whose proud taunts the peeres being set on fire,

Do quench it with his blood: the angrie king

Vowes his reuenge, the valiant Breuce doth bring

His powers into the field, and in the fight
