To The Prince.
Your Princedome's Ensigne here (Right-Royall Sir)May pinion your vp-soaring thoughts, and stirre
Them to a pitch of loftier eminence,
Then can be reached by base vulgar sense.
These Plumes (charact'red liuely signifie
Valour in warre, ioyn'd with velocitie.
The blacke Prince (bearing Plumes) approues this true,
When through the French he like win'gd-lightning flue,
And pull'd downe liues about him to the ground,
Till he himselfe with death had circled round:
His very looke did threaten publicke death:
With every stroke fell from him, fled a breath.
Arm'd in the confidence of his iust cause,
Thus freely fearelesse his foes overthrowes.
Those high-borne acts which from his valour flue,
With new-additions are impress't in you.
