Where he to paye was so readye and bowne,
For his vitayle? that came in by distresse [Lamedō shewed to lason vnkind∣nesse.]
Of tempest greate standing in heuinesse;
Hym for to dryue oute of the [thy.] regyon,
And not refreshe hym at his requisicyon.
Whiche was the cause after of thy heuynesse,
When he the slough and destroyed all thy cytee,
And caste downe all thy myght and great nobles [noblenes.] ,
With lytell thing that sauyd might haue bee;
O good lorde! why shoulde [shewed.] thy royall dignytee
To straungers shewe [so.] that cruell vnkyndnesse,
That to thy lande purposed no distresse?
Of Priamus came Hector, and Troylus, [Hector, Troilus, Dephebus, Helenus & Parys, came of Pryamus.]
Dephebus, Helenus, and Parys,
Of royall bloude and dukes full glorious,
Of excellence and greatest of empryse,
Whiche were all slayne by fortunes exercyse:
All [at. edit. alt. MS.] the sege of Troye knyghtly in the [their.] defence,
In mercyall actes as princes of excellence.
¶ The palays greate and the noble cytee, [Greekes.]
By Grekes seeged longe and many a yere,
Was wonne at laste, and wast as men yet see;
This kyng & quene both two were slayne in feere,
Where Anchises and Eneas his sonne dere, [Anchyses, Eneas, Ascaneus.]
And Ascaneus the sonne of Eneas
Escapyd awaye, and on the sea dyd passe.
