Locrine, 20. yeeres, 1084.

Locrinus , Eldest of old Brutus Sonnes,
By Valour vanquisht the inuading Hunnes:
He chas'd them, & their power did quite confound,
And their King Humber was in Humber drown'd:
This Locrine had a Queene, faire Guendolin,
Yet folly led him to the Paphæan sinne,
Besotted sence, and blood with lust inflam'd,
He lou'd a beautie, Beautious Estrild nam'd,
By whom he had a Daughter, Sabrin hight,
In whome the King had whole and sole delight,
For which the Queene made war vpon her Lord:
And in the Fight she put him to the Sword;
And after a reuengefull bloody slaughter,
Queene Guendoline tooke Estrild and her daughter,
And drownd them both (to quēch her ielous flame)
And so from Sabrine, Seauerne got the name.

The Riuer of Humber tooke the name from the drowned King of the Huns, now Hungarians.

Guendoline was daughter vnto Corineus, Duke of Cornewall. Estrild was a beautious Lady of King Humbers, whom Locrinus tooke prisoner.
