Of how through love is Melicent upcast

Under a heathen castle at the last:

And how a wicked lord of proud degree,

Demetrios, dwelleth in this country,

Where humbled¹ under him are all mankind:

How to this wretched woman he hath mind,

That fallen is in pagan lands alone,

In point to die, as presently is shown.
