Two bookes of epigrammes, and epitaphs | ||
108. To our King CHARLES.
Your royall Father our right Atlas was,And you as high this happy Realme sustaine,
Whose wisedomes glory (as a gemmy glasse
For noblest Kings) out-shines the Arctick waine.
So, though bright Iupiter were set, the skies
Could lacke no lustre, when the Sunne did rise.
