2. Upon the Union of the York, and Lancaster Roses.

The White Rose was dy'd purple, by hot Jars:
The Red grew pale, as let Bloud, by fierce wars.
138

But now the Roses, mutually make One;
The Strife was quenched, by this knack alone.
Both Roses bud, and flourish, lively still:
Although Subjected, to a single Will.
One Species includes both; and both agree
Copartnership, in Beauty; Majesty.
They who were Parties unto either side;
Shall need no more, well-wishes to divide.
And He who Envies, in the Quag-mire Sticks:
Astonish'd when he feels, the Rose hath Pricks.
