A noble kyng sometymes did raigne,
With witte and wealthe, endued was he:
A Queene he had, with whom certaine,
He liude a tyme, though vicious shee.
Three sonnes by straunge seede procreate,
Digressyng had, base borne by kynde,


On her the fourth sonne he begate,
More greater comfort to his mynde.
