The conclusion of Orpheus Iunior to his Soueraigne the King of Great Britaine.
If with kind words your Maiestie approue
This Golden Fleece sprung from a subiects loue:
Ile sweare you hold your Fathers worth by right,
That from your lippes there shootes a quickning light.
But if your mind more waighty cares withdraw,
One fingers touch sufficeth me for Law.
Ile dreame that you haue read, what I present,
Or deem'd it meet for wisedomes Parliament,
Or else Ile faine new fancies in my Braine,
That to your state this worke might bring some gaine:
Or that you doe of Vaughan well conceaue,
But to your Cookes this as a prey you leaue:

I care not, whilst crown'd Lillies you become,
While Trade helpes Armes abroad, and Peace at home.
