(70) Kindred.
Why kneele you heere, faire Ladies, thus amased,
before Apollo, as though you sacrificed?
These litle babes within your armes thus foulded,
in weepinge sort soe piteouslie disguised?
what secret greife of fortunes evill change
hath happened you? declare, and bee not straunge.

Wee here lament noe fortune of mishapp,
wee crave noe goodes from godds for to discende,
ne doe wee wishe our Ennemies to entrapp,
nor seeke revenge of such as vs offende,
but of most fowle incest wee feele false fame,
and craue Apollo to rid vs from the same.

ffor these two babes which here thow dost behould,
are our owne sonns by fleshlie generation;
they are brothers to our husbands, of this be bould,
and vncles to ech other by procreation;
their mothers and grandmothers thow shalt vs finde
in lawfull mariage and course of honnest kinde.

which wee beseech Apollo for to shewe,
who leavinge that to earthlie menn of skill,
wee thee desire, yf ought therof thou knowe,
the same to tell accordinge to our will;
Soe shall wee sound thy worth and learned name,
Since thow shalt cleere vs from incestuous shame.
