And fo to England came with speed To repoffefs king Leir, And drive his daughters from their thrones Where fhe, true hearted noble queen, Was in the battle flain; Yet he, good king, in his old days But when he heard Cordelia's death, Of her dear father, in whose cause He fwooning fell upon her breast, But on her bofom left his life, The lords and nobles when they faw The other fifters unto death And being dead their crowns they left Thus have you feen the fall of pride And disobedient fin.
