XXXVII.

Who will revenge his death? or who will call

Those to account, that thought, and wrought his fall?

The heires of slaine kings, wee see are often so

Transported with the joy of what they get,

That they, revenge and obsequies forget, 365

Nor will against such men the people goe,

Because h'is now dead, to whom they should show

Love in that act; Some kings by vice being growne

So needy of subjects love, that of their own

They thinke they lose, if love be to the dead Prince shown. 370
