Marke but the end of brother quellers all,
And you shall see what woefull ends they had:
For so Iehouah suffers them to fall,
As were their risinges murderous and bad.
The life of wicked Cayne was sorowfull and sad.
Of Ioram the King what neede I to discriue,
So infamous and violent both dead and eke aliue.

What auayl'd it Memprice this Kingdome to obtayne,
That shamefully his Princely brother so did slay:
Sith that almighty Ioue so punisht him agayne,
For scepters sake that tooke his noble Prince away.
His wretched cruell corps became for Wolues a pray.
What neede I more the caytiues beastly facts descriue
So infamous and violent, both dead and eke aliue.

Now when as hee was gone, there presently, mee thought,
A King full Angell like in feathers did appeare:
With flying winges and plumes by cunning finely wrought,
As hee aloft like fame to flie prepared were.
To harken well his tale I gaue an heedy eare,
Which hee in order thus mee thought did then contriue,
Desiring mee to write it so, to warne the rest aliue.
