To the Tune of, In Creete.
WHen Humber in his wrathful rage, King Albanack in field had slain, Those bloody br••••••s for to aswage▪ King Locrin then apply'd his pain; And with a Host of Brittans sout, At length he found King Humber out.
At vantage great he met him then, and with his Host beset him so; That he destroy'd his warlike men, and Humbers power did overthrow: And Humber which for fear did ye, Leapt into a River desperately.

And being Drown'd in the Deep, he left a Lady there alive, UUhich sadly did lamen and wp, for fear they should er lie depr••••e, But by her face that was so fai, The King was caught in Cupids snare.
Ye took this Lady to his Love, who secretly did keep her st••••••; So that the Queen did quickly prove, the King did bear 〈◊〉〈◊〉 small good wi••••: UUhich though by welock late b••••un, He had by her a gallant Son.
Queen Guendoline was griev'd in mind, to see the ing was altered so; At length the cause she than'd to find, which brought her to most bitter woe: For Estrild was his joy (God-wo) By whom a Daughter he begt.
The Duke of Cornwal being dead, the Father of that gallant Queen; The King with Lust being overlaid, his lawful wife he cast off clean: UUho with her dear and tender on, For succour did in Cornwal run.

Then Locrin Crowned Estrild bright, and made of her his lawful wife; UUith her which was his hearts delight, he thought to lead his life: Thus Guendome, as one forlorn, Did hold her wretched life in scorn.
But when the Cornish men did know, the great abuse she did endure, UUith her a number great did go, which she by Prayers did procure: In Battel then they Marcht along, For to redress this grievous wrong.
And near a Rider▪ called Store, the King with all his Host she met, UUhere both the Armies fought full sore, but yet the Queen the Field did get: Yet 're they did the Conquest gain, The King was with an Arrow slain.
Then Guendoline did take in hand, until her Son was come to age, The Government of all the Land, but first her fury to asswage: She did command her Souldirs wild, To drown both Estrild and her Child.
