The Grace, Delight, and Glorie of this Age,
The Hope of all, the haut' and hardie Youth:
The Atlas of the Old, Sheeld of the Sage,
The vnpeerd Prince, in Guifts, in Grace, in Grouth:
The Excellencie in Earth, of Earthly Things,
And Quintescence of mony hundred Kings.
THE Church her Cheeftan, and Republicts Treasur,
The Godleis Glaidness erst, and now thair Greef:
His Princelie Parents, and the Peoples Pleasure,
Thrie Kingdomes Care, and thair Contentment cheef:
The first borne Blessing of the best King James,
Whose Worth the World, with Britans Kingdoms Fames,
MORE truly Tytus, nor Vespatians Heire,
More nor that Wittie Greek Vlisses Wise:
More nor Hyppolit Chaist, nor Paris faire,
And stout like Hector, heir Prince Henrie lyes.
Scotlands Health, Englands Hope, Europs Mirror,
The Popish, Spanish, and the Turkish Terror.
FINIS.
