The Argument.

Wise Humphrey, Duke of Gloster, nam'd the Good,
Next to his Nephew, of the Royall Blood,
(Henry the sixt then being very yong)
Chosen Protector: by Ambition strong
Whose Duchesse Elinor, violently led,
To thinke the Crowne theirs, were yong Henry dead,
Convicted was, with Sorcerers to conspire,
Which practised to hasten her desire:
For which, she her thrice-Penance was assign'd;
To th'Ile of Man and afterwards confin'd:
From whence, she writes this Letter to her Lord,
Who that sad Lady doth the like afford.
