AD EVNDEM PRINCIPEM Opt. Max.

EPIGRAMMA; Ex Lat. I. O. convers.

Will, Reason, Sense, the Brain, the Head, the Heart;
Each, in his Office, in Thee acts his Part:
Thy Will, thy Wit; thy Sense, thy Reason swaies;
Thy Heart, thy Head, in every point obaies.
Thy Wales hath had Great-stiled Princes Three:
Henry was Fourth: Charles, the Fift Great shall bee.
