A Victorious Pæan to our Albions St, alluding to all noble spirits, natiue assumers of his Honor & Order.
Iö
Pean then must wee
Giue St George the victorie:
Whose desert
Grac't each part;
Where so ere he vs'd to be,
None more grac't, or lou'd then he.

Perseus though his renowne,
Did to all the world come;
Yet one staine,
Dimm'd his fame:
But the worlds spatious roome,
Shrines St George in honours tombe.
