Dirot My Lord this triumph we solemnise here Is for meere loue to your increasing ioyes Only expecting cheerefull lookes for all What sudden pangs than moues your maiestie To dimme the brightnes of the day with frownes W. Conqueror Ah good my Lords misconster not the cause At least suspect not my displeased browes I amorously do beare to your intent For thanks and all that you can wish I yeeld But that which makes me blush and shame to tell Is cause why thus I turne my conquering eyes To cowardes lookes and beaten fantasies Mountney Since wee are giltlesse wee the lesse dismay To see this sudden change possesse your cheere For if it issue from your owne conceits Bred by suggestion of some enuious thoughts Your highnes wisdome may suppresse it straight Yet tell vs good my Lord what thought it is That thus bereaues you of your late content That in aduise we may assist your grace Or bend our forces to reuiue your spirits W Con.

to our Brittaine Court Marques Let VVilliam but bethinke what may auayle And let me die if I denie my ayde VVilliam Then thus the Duke Dirot and Th erle Dimach Will I leaue substitutes to rule my
