For vnto us he in true loyall loue
Gainst nature’s selfe to death did constant proue.
92.
Nature’s affect leuel’d by rule of reason,
The due respect of common good doth binde
Gainst nature’s selfe, and when the hand of treason
Inuades the state of kings, the noble minde
To shun the taint of blood ’gainst their owne kinde,
Aduerse in nature seeme, that loue to showe,
Which first to care of common good they owe.
