I am that _Morgan_ sonne of _Gonerell_ Th’ungratefull daughter of hire father _Leire_: Which from his Kingdome did him once expell, As by the _British_ storyes may appeare. _Ragan_ and shee conspirde (both sisters were) But were subdude agayne and caus’d to yelde Theyr fathers Crowne: _Cordila_ wan the field. 3. I need not heare the storyes all recite; It were to long, but yet I briefly shall: The cause _Cordila_ ought her sisters spite Was, they procur’d her, and their father’s thrall. Yet t’was her chaunce at length t’out liue them all, Both sisters elder, and her father graue, And eke at length the kingdome all to haue. 4. That time was I of _Albany_ the King, Cal’d _Scotland_ now, and eke my cousin then, Of _Cornewall_ and of _Wales_, whom I did bring To warre, against _Cordila_ and her men: Wee sayd wee would our title winne agen, And that because our fathers[505] had it yore, Wee ment to get it ours againe therefore. 5. I must confesse I was the cause of warre, I was not pleas’d with that was lotted mee: Euen so our mindes ambitious often are And blinded, that wee cannot reason see. Wee thinke no men, but God’s on Earth wee bee, Yet worse are wee then beastes which knowe their kinde: For wee haue nought but mischiefe oft in mind. 6. Wee thinke, if so wee may our willes attayne By right or wrong, by might or malice, wee Could neuer liue like Fortune for to gayne: Or if one foes wee once reuenged bee, If that our enemies[506] fall wee chaunce to see, O then wee ioy, wee lift our selues to skie, And on the poore wee _crucifige_ crye. 7. I deem’d if once I might put her adowne,[507] The Kingdomes all were _Conidag’s_ and mine And I could easly after winne the crowne, If also I his state might vndermine. I thought, in deede, to haue it all in fine: By force or fraude I ment my purpose bring To passe, I might bee after _Britayne_ King.[508] 8. To speake in fewe, wee waged warre so long Gainst her, at last wee put her vnto flight: Wee warriours[509] for our aunt were far to strong, Pursude and tooke, depriu’d her of her right. Wee thought it ours what so wee wanne by might: Eke so play tyraunts, Traitours all doe watch To get by spoile and count their owne they catch. 9.
