HENRY THE IV, KING OF England, And FRANCE, LORD OF IRELAND, &c.

From right (wrong-doing) Richard I did wrest
His Crowne mis-guided, but on me mis-plac'd:
Vnciuill Ciuill warres my Realme molest,
And English men did England spoyle and wast,
The Sire, the Son, the Son the Father chas'd,
Vndutifull, vnkind, vnnaturall,
Both Yorke and Lancaster were rais'd and rac'd,
As Conquest did to either Faction fall.
But still I grip'd the Scepter and the Ball,
And what by wrong I won, by might I wore:
For Prince of Wales I did my Son install,
But as my Martiall Fame grew more and more,
By fatall Fate my vitall threed was cut:
And all my Greatnesse in a graue was put.
