Borne of faire _Inogene_ of _Italy_;

His life, and long good fortune vnto finall fate.

_Locrine_ was left the soueraine Lord of all;
2 But _Albanact_ had all the Northrene part,
Which of himselfe _Albania_ he did call;
4 And _Camber_ did possesse the Westerne quart,
Which _Seuerne_ now from _Logris_ doth depart:
6 And each his portion peaceably enioyd,
Ne was there outward breach, nor grudge in hart,
8 That once their quiet gouernment annoyd,
But each his paines to others profit still employd.
