Pro Regno, et Religione.
The Monarches good, that doe deserue the name
Of “Countrie Parents, by their loue and care
Of common-wealth, and to defend the same
From publicque harmes, by wise foresight, prepare:
By louing heartes, are guarded surer farre,
Then some vnweldie SWIZZE, or IANIZAR.

HENRY this once, thy Royall Imprese stood,
To shew, thy foe should find thee readie prest,
For Church, and Country, to dispend thy bloud,
When daunger, or occasion did request,
And further, though the Trumpet sterne did cease,
Thus evermore, to goe prepar'd in PEACE.
