Braue Sprited Prince, Thy too too tender Yeers,
Wnrype to Rule, and such a Birth, to Beare:
Into Thy Stats, such Strife Intestene Steers,
That It o'reflowde with Strife, with Force, with Feare:
The Strong contend, yit th'Innocent and Poore,
The Dolor, and, the Damnage, they indure.

THE Governours, and Guiders of the States,
Of greatest Poure, thy Peers and Palladines:
They for thair Place of Honor other hates,
Then These beleiving to brak Both, Combines:
And Thee as Captive kept, betuixt These two,
And all thair Doing, proves disorder so.

NOUGHT by thy Fault, bot by these Princes Pride,
A thowsand Ills, into thy Raigne arose:
And skarsh wes stopt, the Torrent of that Tide,
When it afflicted wes with forrane Foes:
And thow, too neir falls, be a fattall Stroake,
Gevne by a Gun that over-burden'd Bracke.
