To the high and mightie Phillip King of Spaine &c.
To you great Prince, strong stay, and powerfull prop
Of Christian state, who by thy feared might,
And restles care; the same supportest vp;
From neighbour Mahovnds vndermining spight;
From thy Gade's pillars, to the west as farre,
As Thetis leades vs to the Southerne starre.

And restles care; the same supportest vp;
From neighbour Mahovnds vndermining spight;
From thy Gade's pillars, to the west as farre,
As Thetis leades vs to the Southerne starre.
I offer vp these Arrowes, with the Tree
Of thy Grenade, the Symbole long agoe
Of great Fernando's famous victorie,
What Time he gaue the Moores their overthrow:
Though here it may impart, the fruite that springes
By Peace and concord of all Christian Kinges.
