Through our neglect of homage to be made,

Constrain’d thereto by our home-bred debate,

Valoys her brother did our lands inuade,

And through late wounds made in our mangled state,

In armes vnable to withstand his hate:

To treate with him of peace our queene we sent,

In her vow’d faith being too too confident.

83.

O powre diuine, what mortall wight hath wings

To soare the height of thy vnknowne decree?
