Rutland’s yong earle, whom Clifford’s sword did kill,

Clarence, that duke, who in the fatall tower

In Malmsey But did meet his liue’s last houre:

Richard the yongest, who was stain’d with guilt

Of Clarence blood and ours, both which he spilt.

8.

O that desire of rule so much should blind

The eyes of men, or that to gaine a crowne,

The godlike part of man, th’immortall mind

Of wrathfull heau’n should dare t’incurre the frowne,
