HENRY THE VIIJ, KING OF England, And France, LORD OF IRELAND.
To both the Royall Houses I was Heyre;I made but one, of long contending, twaine:
This Realme diuided drooping in despaire,
I did rebind in my auspicious Raigne.
I banisht Romish Vsurpation vaine.
In France I Bullen, Turwin, Turney wan:
The Stile of Faiths Defender I did gaine.
Sixe wiues I had, three An's, two Kates, one Iane.
In my expences Royall, beyond measure,
Striuing in Noble Actions to exceede;
Accounting Honour as my greatest Treasure:
Yet various fancies did my frailty feede,
I made and marr'd, I did, and I vndid,
Till all my Greatnesse in a Graue was hid.
