That which I first for Henrie's life did sound,
Shall spite of death, which did high hope betray,
A speaking pledge, a living token stay,
Which with his name shall make my lore renown'd;
His successor, thou mayst make use of this,
Which freely showes what Princes doe deserve;
It both him dead, and thee alive may serve,
Thy fame's presage, a monument of his.
That Charles of France admired so much for worth,
Religious, valiant, was call'd justly Great,
Thou hast his name, strive for his worth and state,
Great in Great Britain to adorne the North:
That all the world with wondring eye may see
What was from Henry hoped performed by thee.
