E corpore pulchro Grazior.
TO THE RIGHT NOBLE, AND MOST TOWARDLY YOVNG PRINCE, CHARLES DVKE OF YORKE.
Sweete Duke, that bear'st thy Fathers Image right
Aswell in bodie, as thy towardly mind;
Within whose cheeke me thinkes in Red and white
Appeare the Roses yet againe conioind;
Where, howsoe're their warres appeased be,
Each, striues with each, for Soveraignitie.

Where, howsoe're their warres appeased be,
Each, striues with each, for Soveraignitie.
Since Nature then in her faire-Angell mould,
Hath framd thy bodie, shew'd her best of art:
Oh let thy mind the fairest virtues hold,
Which are the beautie of thy better part:
And which, (braue Charles) shall make vs loue thee more,
Then all thy state we outwardly adore.
