Ex vtroque Immortalitas.
Ad pÿssimum Iacobum magnæ Britanniæ Regem.
Bvt thou whose goodnes, Pietie, and Zeale,
Haue caus'd thee so, to be belou'd of thine,
(When envious Fates, shall robbe the Common weale,
Of such a Father,) shalt for ever shine:
Not turn'd as Cæsar, to a fained starre,
But plac'd a Saint, in greater glory farre.
Haue caus'd thee so, to be belou'd of thine,
(When envious Fates, shall robbe the Common weale,
Of such a Father,) shalt for ever shine:
Not turn'd as Cæsar, to a fained starre,
But plac'd a Saint, in greater glory farre.
With whome mild Peace, the most of all desir'd;
And learned Muse shall end their happie dayes;
While thou to all eternitie admir'd,
Shalt liue a fresh, in after ages praise:
Or be the Loade-starre, of thy glorious North,
Drawing all eies, to wonder at thy worth.
And learned Muse shall end their happie dayes;
While thou to all eternitie admir'd,
Shalt liue a fresh, in after ages praise:
Or be the Loade-starre, of thy glorious North,
Drawing all eies, to wonder at thy worth.
