SONNET.
[If Martiall deeds, and practise of the pen]
If Martiall deeds, and practise of the penHaue wonne to auncient Grece a worthie fame:
If Battels bold, and Bookes of learned men
Haue magnified the mightie Romain name:
Then place this Prince, who well deserues the same:
Since he is one of Mars and Pallas race:
For both the Godds in him haue sett in frame
Their vertewes both, which both, he doth embrace.
O Macedon, adornde with heauenly grace,
O Romain stout, decorde with learned skill,
The Monarks all to thee shall quite their place:
Thy endles fame shall all the world fulfill.
And after thee, none worthier shalbe seene,
To sway the Svvord, and gaine the Laurell greene.
