Paruus. it chanced that king Richard was at the point to haue béene deliue|red into the hands of his deadlie aduersarie the French king, as hereafter you shall heare, noting by the waie the dangerous estate of princes, the mani|fold distresses whereinto by sinister fate (as well as the inferior & rascall rout of common drudges) they be driuen. For what greater calamitie, what grée|uouser hartach, what more miserable casualtie could haue happened vnto a bondman, than to be deliuered to and fro from the hand of one enimie to another, to be bought and sold for monie, to stand to the courte|sies of forren foes, of a king to become a captiue? whervnto the poet did right well allude, when he said,
