To the Right Honorable William Cecill, Earle of Salisbury.

Besides the Bonds which did most Vowes engage
To your deere Elders; and besides the Due
Which to your Selfe might iustly thence accrew;
Th'apparant Vertues of our April-age,
Challeng'd of right This Poëms Patronage:
The rather, sith wee first receiu'd from you,
The speedy Notice (no lesse quick than true)
Of Henry's Death, through Hells dis-chained Rage.
You saw this Sunne, at his High-Noone shine Set
In suddaine Clowd of his owne Royall Bloud.
O Horrid Hap! Who euer can forget
Such Fate such Hate; of one so Great, so Good:
O! Iust Revenge, root out th'Ignatian Pack,
The Moules that moou'd in Faux and Rauaillac.
Iosvah Sylvester.
