VI. An Epitaph, Upon Henry the eighth King of England, Translated out of Spanish.
O Henry
more than this cold cover
Of stone, thy worth do hide and smother
The Love of Luscious Venery,
And stubbornnesse in Heresie.
Of stone, thy worth do hide and smother
The Love of Luscious Venery,
And stubbornnesse in Heresie.
How with thy greatnesse I demand
(Poor Cosen'd Briton) could it stand
To let a Woman on thee tread
And yet to be the Churches Head?
(Poor Cosen'd Briton) could it stand
To let a Woman on thee tread
And yet to be the Churches Head?
