28482580Cancell his bond of life, deare God I pray,

28492581That I may liue to say, the dog is dead.

28502582Qu. O thou didst prophecie the time would come,

28512583That I should wish for thee to helpe me cursse,

28522584That botteld spider, that foule bunch-backt toade.

28532585Qu Mar. I cald thee then, vaine floorish of my fortune,

28542586I cald thee then, poore shadow, painted Queene,

28552587The presentation of, but what I was,

28562588The flattering Index of a direfull pageant,

28572589One heaued a high, to be hurld downe belowe,

28582590A mother onelie, mockt with two sweete babes,

28592591A dreame of which thou wert a breath, a bubble,

28612592A signe of dignitie, a garish flagge,

28602593To be the aime of euerie dangerous shot,

28622594A Queene in ieast onelie to fill the sceane,

28632595Where is thy husband now, where be thy brothers?

28642596Where are thy children, wherein doest thou ioye?

28652597Who sues to thee, and cries God saue the Queene?

28662598Where be the bending peeres that flattered thee?

28672599Where be the thronging troopes that followed thee?

28682600decline all this, and see what now thou art,

28692601For happie wife, a most distressed widow,

28702602For ioyfull Mother, one that wailes the name,

28722603For Queene, a verie caitiue crownd with care,

28742604For one being sued to, one that humblie sues,

28752605For one commaunding all, obeyed of none,

28732606For one that scornd at me, now scornd of me,

28762607Thus hath the course of iustice whe'eld about,

28772608And left thee but, a verie praie to time,

28782609Hauing no more, but thought of what thou wert,

28792610To torture thee the more, being what thou art,

28802611Thou didst vsurpe my place, and doest thou not,

28812612Vsurpe the iust proportion of my sorrow,

28822613Now thy proud necke, beares halfe my burthened yoke,

28832614From which, euen here, I slippe my wearie necke,

28842615And leaue the burthen of it all on thee :

28852616Farewell Yorkes wife, and Queene of sad mischance,

28862617These English woes, will make me smile in France.
