Henry the sixt. An. Dom. 1422.

This Infant Prince scarce being nine moneths old,
The Realmes of France and England he did hold:
But he vncapable through want of yeeres,
Was ouer-gouern'd by mis-gouern'd Peeres.
Now Yorke and Lancaster, with bloudy wars,
Both wound this kingdome, with deep deadly scars.
Whilst this good King by Yorke oppos'd, depos'd,
Expos'd to dangers, is captiu'd, inclos'd,
His Queene exilde, his sonne and many friends,
Fled, murdred, slaughtred; lastly, Fate contends
To crowne him once againe, who then at last
Was murdred, thirty nine yeeres being past.
