Leire, 844.
Leeire (as the Story saies) three daughters had,The youngest good, the other two too bad:
Yet the old King lou'd thē that wrong'd him most,
She that lou'd him, he banisht from his Coast.
False Gonorel and Ragan, he betweene
Them gaue the Kingdome, making each a Queene.
But young Cordeilla wedded was by chance,
To Aganippus, King of fertile France:
The eldest Daughters did reiect their Sire,
For succour to the young'st hee did retire,
By whose iust aide the Crowne againe he gain'd;
And dyed when he full forty yeeres had reign'd.
