And wield the same with high renowne.

Unto this blast of golden sounde,
Did forrein Princes bende their eares:
The noyse to heauen eke did rebounde,
That Englandes Foes then quake in feares.
And frendes vnto the English Roye,
with clapping handes gan shewe their ioye.

To London Tower is he brought:
With Regall porte he so did passe,
That all men ioyde in worde and thought.
His countinaunce of Regaltie,

So that if thousandes in his way
had right resemblance of his face:
Yet euery man myght iudge and saye,
Lo this is hee, God saue his grace.
He did the rest excell so farre,
as doth the Sunne the dimmest Starre.

Within this noble Castle nowe
This Royall king his seat hath take:
Whose speciall carke and care is howe
In order good his Realme to make.
His whole desire and studye is

Where Prudence rules with good foresyght,
The common wealth doth prosper well:
Where wisedome guydes eche thing aright,
Thear Commons seeldome do rebell:
But serue their Prince with loyall hartes,
And nothing slack to do their partes.

The stately porte that Princes beare,
With Iustice ioynde ryght to mayntaine:
Both holdes the Subiect in due feare,
And trewe allegeance doth remayne.
This king did his affaires so frame,
As made men feare and loue his name.
