[Nowe Princes, Lordes, and Nobles of renowne]

Nowe Princes, Lordes, and Nobles of renowne,
VVhom it pleaseth to vse Iustice with mercie,
Take Iob and Dauid examples to your crowne,
VVhen to the poore they had a piteous eye,


And of mighty offenders punisht peruersitee,
VVhom Gods good grace hath remunerate
VVith blessinges moe then may expressed bee,
In lasting fame ay to be Lawreate.
