The furious Hun, that drowning theare to Humber left his name,
The King did vanquish, and for spoyle vnto his Nauie came:
Where Humbars Daughter, Parragon for beautie, such a Dame
As Loue himselfe could not but loue, did Locrine so inflame,
That Guendoleyne, the Cornish Duke his daughter, Locrins Queene,
Grewe in contempt: and, Coryn dead, his Change of Choyse was seene.
To Cornwall goes the wrothfull Queene to seaze her Fathers Land,
Frō whence she brought, to worke reuenge, of warriours stout a band,
And bids her husband battell, and in battell is he slaine:
And for their Sonne in Nonage was, she to his vse did raine.
The Lady Estrild Locrins Loue, and Sabrin, wondrous faire,
Her Husbands and his Leimans impe, she meaning not to spare,
Did bring vnto the water that the wenches name doth beare:
There binding both, and bobbing them, then trembling at her yre,
She said: if Scythia could haue hild the wandring King thy Syre,
Then Brittish waters had not been to him deserued bayne:
But Estrild, snout-faire Estrild, she was sparde, forsooth to traine
With whorish tricks a vicious King: But neither of yee twaine,
Thou stately Drab, nor this thy Brat, a bastard as thy selfe,
Shall liue in triumph of my wrong: first mother and her Elfe
Shall fish in Flood for Humbars soule, and bring him-newes to hell,
That Locrins wife on Locrins whore reuenged her so well.

They lifting vp their lillie hands, from out their louely eyes
Powre teares like Pearles, and wash those Cheekes where naught saue
And seeking to excuse themselues, & mercie to obtaine, (beautie lyes:
With speeches good, and praiers faire, they speake and pray in vaine:
Queene Guendoleyne so bids, and they into the Flood are cast,
Whereas amongst the drenching waues the Ladies breath their last.

As this his Grandame, such appear'd Mempricius, Madans sonne,
Whose brother Manlius traitrously by him to death was donne.
And since of noble Brute his line prodigious things I tell,
I skipping to the tenth from him will shew what then befell.
