EDWARD THE VI, KING OF England, FRANCE and IRELAND, Defender of the Faith, &c.
I seem'd in wisedome aged in my youth,A Princly patterne; I reform'd the time:
With zeale and courage I maintain'd Gods truth,
And Christian faith 'gainst Antichristian crime.
My Father did begin; I, in my prime,
Both Baal and Beliall from this Kingdome droue,
With concords true harmonious heauenly chime,
I caus'd be said and sung Gods truth and loue.
From vertue vnto vertue still I stroue,
I liu'd beloued both of God and men:
My soule vnto her Maker soar'd aboue,
My earthly part return'd to earth agen.
Thus Death, my faire proceedings did preuent,
And Peeres and People did my losse lament.
