The fourth Brother.

Illustrious! O our illustrious parents!
Who by their most holy laws, and precepts, gave light to govern well
229

Page 229
To him that should possess a thousand kingdoms.
Alas! how do I grieve, that these dominions, left to thee and us,
Should be neglected and despised by thee alone.
Thou art justly fallen from thy kingdom: who the first [of thy race]
Hast prevented it from descending to thy posterity.
