shall yeeld more suppliments Being well imploy'd then Kings can well exhaust This golden meadow lying ready still Then to be mow'd when their occasions will 40 Fauour like pitie in the hearts of men Haue the first touches euer violent But soone againe it comes to languish when The motiue of that humour shall be spent But being still fed with that which first hath beene The cause thereof it holds still permanent And is kept in by course by forme by kinde And Time begets more ties that still more binde 41 The broken frame of this disioynted State Being by the blisse of thy great Grandfather Henry the seauenth restor'd to an estate More sound then euer and farre stedfaster Owes all it hath to him and in that rate Stands bound to thee that art his successor For without him it had not beene begunne And without thee we had beene now vndone 42 Hee of a priuate man became a King Hauing indur'd the weight of tyrannie Mourn'd with the world complain'd knew the thing That good men wish for in their misery Vnder ill Kings saw what it was to bring Order and Forme to the recouery Of an vnruly State conceiu'd what cure Would kill the cause of this distemp'rature 43 Thou borne a King hast in thy State indur'd The sowre affronts of priuate discontent With subiects broiles and euer beene inur'd To this great mystery of gouernment Whereby thy Princely wisedome hath allur'd A State to peace left to thee turbulent And brought vs an addition to the frame Of his great worke squar'd fitly to the same 44 And both you by the all-working prouidence That fashions out of dangers toyles debates Those whom it hath ordained to commence These first and great establishments of States Came when your aide your powers experience Which out of iudgement best accommodates These ioynts of rule was more then most desir'd And when the times of need the most requir'd 45 And as he lay'd the modell of this frame By which was built so strong a worke of State As all the powers of changes in the same All that excesse of a disordinate And lustfull Prince nor all that after came Nor Childe nor stranger nor yet womens fate Could once disioynt the couplements whereby It held together in iust Symetry 46 So thou likewise art come as fore-ordain'd To re-inforce the same more really Which oftentimes hath beene but entertain'd By th' onely stile and name of Maiestie And by no other councells oft attain'd Those ends of her inioy'd tranquilitie Then by this forme and by th'incumbrances Of neighbor states that gaue it a successe 47 That hadst thou had no title as thou hast The onely right and none hath else a right We yet must now haue beene inforcde t' haue cast Our selues into thy armes to set all right And to auert confusion blood-shed waste That otherwise vpon vs needes must light None but a King and no King else beside Could now haue sau'd this State from being destry'd 48 Thus hath the hundreth yeare brought backe againe The sacred bloud lent to adorne the North And here return'd it with a greater gaine And greater glory than we sent it forth Thus doth th'all-working Prouidence retaine And keepe for great effects the seede of worth And so doth point these stops of time thereby In periods of vncertaine certainty 49 Margaret of Richmond glorious Grandmother Vnto that other precious Margaret From whence th' Almightie worker did transferre This branch of peace as from a roote well set Thou mother author plotter Councellor Of vnion that didst both conceiue beget And bring forth happinesse to this great State To make it thus intirely fortunate 50 O couldst thou now but view this faire successe This great effect of thy religious worke And see therein how God hath pleas'd to blesse Thy charitable Councels and to worke Still greater good out of the blessednesse Of this conioyned Lancaster and Yorke Which all conioyn'd within and those shut out Whom nature and their birth had set without 51 How much hast thou bound all posterities In this great worke to reuerence thy name And with thee that religious faithfull wise And learned Mourton who contriu'd the same And first aduis'd and did so well aduise As that the good successe that thereof came Shewdwel that holy hands cleane thoughts cleare harts Are onely fit to act such glorious parts 52 But Muse these deare remembrances must be In their conuenient places registred When thou shalt bring sterne Discord to agree And bloody warre vnto a quiet Bed Which worke must now be finished by thee That long hath layne vndone as destined Vnto the glory of these dayes for which Thy vowes and verse haue laboured so much 53 Thou euer hast opposed all thy might Against contention fury pride and wrong Perswading stil to hold the course of right And Peace hath beene the burthen of thy Song And now thy selfe shalt haue the benefite Of quietnesse which thou hast wanted long And now shalt haue calme peace and vnuion With thine owne warres and now thou must go on 54 Onely the ioy of this so deare a thing Made me looke backe vnto the cause whence came This so great good this blessing of King When our estate so much requir'd the same When we had neede of powre for the well-ord'ring Of our affaires neede of a Spirite to frame The world to Good to Grace and worthinesse Out of this humour of Luxuriousnesse 55 And bring vs backe vnto our selues againe Vnto our ancient natiue modestie From out these forraine sinnes vve entertaine This loathsome surfets ougly Gluttony From this vnruly and this idle vaine Of wanton and superfluous brauery The wracke of Gentry spoile of Noblenesse And spare vs by thy temp rate Sobernesse 56 When Abstinence is fashion'd by the Time It is no rare thing to be abstinent But then it is when th' Age full fraught with crime Lies prostrate vnto all misgouernment And who is not licencious in the prime And heate of youth nor then incontinent When out of might he may he neuer wil No power can tempt him to that taste of ill 57 Then what are we t' expect from such a hand That doth this sterne of faire example guide Who will not now shame to haue no command Ouer his lusts Who would be seene t' abide Vnfaithful to his vowes to infringe the band Of a most sacred knot which God hath tide Who would now seeme to be dishonoured With th' uncleane touch of an vnlawfull bedde 58 What a great checke wil this chaste Court be now To wanton Courts debaucht with Luxurie Where we no other Mistresses shall know But her to whom we owe our loyaltie Chaste Mother of our Princes whence doe grow Those righteous issues which shall glorifie And comfort many Nations with their worth To her perpetuall grace that brought them forth 59 We shall not feare to haue our wiues distain'd Nor yet our Daughters violated here By an Imperiall lust that
