[Beare hence my Septer and my massie Crowne]

Beare hence my Septer and my massie Crowne,
I cannot beare them but they'le beare me downe,
Sadd cares and feares attendeth on them soe,
As I their burthens cannot vndergoe.
Bring me my Hooke, my Scripp, my Flock of sheepe,
J long a gaine that quiet Realme to keepe.
