ABSTRACT

And thou Augustus that with bloudie hand Cut'st off succession from anothers race, Maist find the heavens thy vowes so to withstand, 1020 That others may deprive thine in like case. When thou maist see thy prowde contentious bed Yeelding thee none of thine that may inherite: Subvert thy bloud, place others in their sted, To pay this thy injustice her due merite.
