brands For when we arme vs brother against brother O then how ready are our hearts and hands And wits awake to ruine one another But come to counter-min ' gainst secret treason Or force the forces of a stranger foe Alas how shallow are we then in reason How cold in courage and in camping slow Franunce only striues to triumph ouer Fraunce With selfe-kill swords to cut each others throat What swarmes of soldiers euery where doe float To spend and spoyle a kingdomes maintenance But said I soldiers ah I blush for shame To giue base the eues the noble soldiers name SONNET I st not an endles scandall to our daies If possible our heires can credit it That th' holy name of PEACE so worthy praise Hath been our watch-word for a fault vnfit That the pure Lillie our owne natiue flower Hath been

SONNET Not without reason hath it oft been spoken That through faire concord little things augmēt And opposite that mightiest things are broken Through th' vgly discord of the discontent When many tunes doe sweetly symphonize It conquers hearts kindly them compound When many hearts doe gently sympathize In sacred friendship there all blisse abounds Alas if longer we deuide this Realme Loosing to euery Partizan a part Farewell our Lillies and our Diadem For though it seeme to breath now some what peart Our sinnes I feare will worke worse after-claps And there 's most danger in are-relaps SONNET O how I hate these partializing wordes Which show how we are in the faith diuised I st possible to whet so many swordes And light such flames 'mong th'In-one-Christ baptizedt Christians to Christians to be brute and bloodie Altars to Altars to be opposite Parting the limmes of such a perfect Bodie While Turkes with Turkes doe better farre vnite We our Truth find doubts whēce follow

scepter from the Saracen That holds the Holy Land in strait captiuity May I not see the selfe-weale-wounding launce Of our braue bloods earst one another goring Turn'd with more valour on the Musulmans A higher pitch of happie prowesse soaring But who deare Fraunce of all thy men-at-armes Shall so farre hence renew thine ancient Laurels Sith here they plot thine and their propher harms I
