HENRY THE VI, KING OF ENGLAND, And France, Lord Of Jreland.
Great England Mars (my Father being dead)I, not of yeares, or yeare; but eight months old:
The Diadem was plac't vpon my head,
In Royall Robes the Scepter I did hold:
But as th'Almighties workes are manifold,
Too high for mans conceit to comprehend:
In his eternall Register enrold
My Birth, my troublous Life, and tragicke End.
'Gainst me the house of Yorke their force did bend,
And Peeres and People weltred in their gore:
My Crown and Kingdome they from me did rend,
Which I, my Sire, and Grandsire kept and wore.
Twice was I crown'd vncrown'd, oft blest, oft crost,
And lastly, murdred, life and Kingdome lost.
