Reading edition
An additional stanza occurs here in the first edition.
See here, th’ occasion of my haplesse happe, See here his chaunce that might haue liu’de ful wel: So baited swete is euery deadly trappe; In brauiste bowres doth deepest daunger dwell. I thought mine elder from his right t’expell, Though he both age and custome forth did bring For title right: I sayd, I would be King.
