Howsone he was installed in his Throne,

Yit laugh-ful wes, and loving his Desire
But purpose by plane Power to Impire.

Yit laugh-ful wes, and loving his Desire
But purpose by plane Power to Impire.
HIS Life he led, conforme unto the Law,
He woundit Vice, and Vertue he advanc't:
He lov'de his Lords, and yet held them in aw,
All Knaverie he correctit as it chaunc't:
And never yit the great Trespassour spair'd,
Nor left the wise and worthie but Rewaird.

HE did supplie and help the Poor-mans Harmes,
Support the Pights and beat the Britons bold:
And so he was both excellent in Armes,
(As wes his Princelie Predicessors old)
And into Peace and Government to None,
(To be postpon'd) preceiding him and gone.
