1. To King Henry the Eighth.
Plato asserts, that whatsoever was,Did but revive; shall come again to pass.
As Spring and Winter, through the various Climes,
Make their Appearance, at appointed Times:
So after Six and thirty thousand Year,
All things shal be the same, which once they were,
After the Golden, came the Silver Age:
Then came the Brass; and Iron the last Stage.
The Golden Age is revolv'd, to your Reign:
I now conceive, that Plato did not feign.
