THE CAPTAINES.

Anagr. Robertus Cecilius. Cui ortus celebris: Robertus Comes Sari. (vel) Robertus Cecillius. Cerebro sic Tulius. Carus est Orbi sermo.

Arms yeeld to Arts: the Trumpet to the Tongue:
Stout Aiax Prize the wise Vlysses wan:
It will not seem then that we haue mis-sung,
To sing of CAPTAINES to a Counsail-man:
Sith without Counsaile, Courage is but rage;
Rude in Resoluing, rash in Acting it:
In which respect those of the Antique Age
Fain PALLAS Goddess both of War and Wit:
Therefore, to Thee, whose Wit so much hath sted
(In War and Peace) our Princes and our STATE:
To Thee, whose Vertue hath now Triumphed
Of Cause-less Enuy, and misgrounded Hate:
To Thee (Witt's-WORTHIE) had it not been wrong.
Not to haue sounded my War-WORTHIE's Song?

I. S.
