A queen in jest, only to fill the scene.

Where is thy husband now? where be thy brothers?

[♦] Where are thy children? wherein dost thou joy?

[♦] Who sues to thee and cries ‘God save the queen’?

[95] Where be the bending peers that flatter’d thee?

[♦] Where be the thronging troops that follow’d thee?

Decline all this, and see what now thou art:

For happy wife, a most distressed widow;

For joyful mother, one that wails the name;

[100] For queen, a very caitiff crown’d with care;
