The Argument.
Faire Isabel, Edward the Seconds Queene,Philip of France his Daughter; for the Spleene
She bare her Husband, for that he affected
Lascivious Minions, and her Love neglected;
Drew to her Favour (striving to preferre)
That valiant young Lord Roger Mortimer:
Who with the Barons rose; but wanting Power,
Was taken and imprisoned in the Tower.
But by a sleepie Drinke which she prepar'd,
And at a Banquet given to his Guard,
He makes escape: to whom, to France she sends;
Who thence to her his Service recommends.
