Whose tidings fill th'adultrous Queene with feares,

Who with Ægistus in a lust-staind bed,

Her selfe, her King, her State dishonored.

She wakes the lecher with a loud-strain'd shrike,

Loue-toies they leaue, now doth lament begin:

He flie (quoth he) but she doth that mislike,

Guilt vnto guilt, and sinne she ads to sinne:

Shee meanes to kill (immodest loue to couer)

A kingly husband, for a caytiue louer.

The peoples ioies, conceiued at his returne,
