EDWARD THE IIIJ, KING OF ENGLAND, And France, LORD OF IRELAND, &c.
I Yorkes great heire (by fell domesticke Warre)Inthroaned was, vn-King'd, and re-inthroan'd:
Subiecting quite the house of Lancaster,
Whilst wofull England ouer-burthen'd, groan'd:
Old Sonlesse Sires, and Childlesse Mothers moan'd,
These bloody broyles had lasted threescore years,
And till the time we were in peace attoan'd,
It wasted fourescore of the Royall Peeres:
But age and time all earthly things out-weares,
Through terrours, horrors, mischiefe and debate,
By trust, by treason, by hopes doubts and feares,
I got, I kept, I left and lost the State.
Thus as disposing heauens doe smile or frowne,
So Cares or Comforts wait vpon a Crowne.
