[But Englands great negocies will not let]
But Englands great negocies will not letYour Lordship reade or heare much prose or song:
For (as in Embleme I before haue set,
To paint in short what honours you belong)
BY SEA AND LAND you are the Fense of Sion;
By SEA her Ancor, and By LAND her Lion.
Liue then renoumed both BY SEA AND LAND,
And daunt the Spaniard as you haue tofore:
That England fast may with your Ancor stand,
And by your Lion enimies be tore.
So shall you ridde the world of Tyrants threat;
Therfore be tytled Englands Charles the Great;
And alway (for so guarding this her Isle)
Of Prince be graced; lou'd and song of Lisle,
VVho still remaines your Lordships ready at commaund.
