And when I start the cruell people laugh,

30 And bids me be aduised how I tread,

And thus with burning Taper in my hand,

Malde vp in shame with papers on my backe,

[♦] Ah, Gloster, can I endure this and liue.

Sometime ile say I am Duke Humphreys wife,

35 And he a Prince, Protector of the land,

But so he rulde, and such a Prince he was,

As he stood by, whilst I his forelorne Duches

Was led with shame, and made a laughing stocke,
