A CATALOGUE OF THE HEROICALL LOVES.

The World's faire Rose, and Henries frosty fire,
John's tyranny, and chaste Matilda's wrong,
Th'inraged Queene, and furious Mortimer,
The Scourge of France, and his chaste Love I sung,
Deposed Richard, Isabel exil'd,
The gallant Tudor, and faire Katherine,
Duke Humphrey, and old Cobhams haplesse Child,
Couragious Poole, and that brave spiritfull Queene,
Edward, and the delicious London Dame,
Brandon, and that rich Dowager of France,
Surrey, with his faire Paragon of Fame,
Dudley's Mis-hap, and vertuous Gray's Mischance:
Their sev'rall Loves since I before have showne,
Now give me leave, at last, to sing mine owne.
