21131905Made him my booke, wherein my
soule recorded,
21141906The hi
story of all her
secret thoughts:
21151907So
smoothe he daubd his vice with
shew of vertue,
21161908That his apparant open guilt omitted:

sation with Shores wife,
21181910He laid from all attainder of

serued his death,
21341925And you my good Lords both, haue well proceeded
21351926To warne fal

21381929Dut. Yet had not we determined he
