EDVVARD THE FIRST, KING OF ENGLAND, Lord Of Ireland, DVKE OF AQVITAINE, &c.
My Victories, my Valour, and my strength,My actions, and my neuer-conquer'd name,
Were spred throughout the world in bredth & lēgth
By mortall deeds, I want immortall Fame.
Rebellious Wales I finally did tame,
And made them Vassalls to my princely Sonne:
I entred Scotland fierce with Sword and Flame,
And almost all that Kingdome ouer-run.
Still where I fought, triumphantly I won,
Through Blood and Death my glory I obtain'd:
But in the end, when all my Acts were done,
A Sepulcher was all the gaine I gain'd.
For though great Kings contend for earthly sway,
Death binds them to the peace and parts the fray.
