53. Vpon Prince Henry his death to Prince Charles

Admired Phoenix, springing vp a pace
From th'Ashes of another Phoenix bones
Which, too, too courteous, yeelded the his place,
Least Earth were burthen'd with two birds at once
Of that rare kinde which loves to live a lone,
Whose only Essence is to be but one.
