[Samarias Motheres when to Death they steru'd]

Samarias Motheres when to Death they steru'd
Did make a couenant their sonnes to eate;
The first (poor foole) aduanced hers for meate,
The other, pitifull, hid and preseru'd:
Comparisones are odious, therefore I
To Britannes kingdome will not this applye.
