their great noise their open passe doth tell So friends and countrymens great hate delay'd Workes strong effects if once it be displai'd VVhere greatest loue is any where expected If thence proceed no shew of kinde intent They which do faile herein are soone suspected And feare seemes wise suggesting some contempt Then strangenesse growes from th' one vnto the other And both will shortly secret enuie smoother For as the glasse through which the eye doth peere Makes all things seeme of colour with the same So do all actions good or ill appeare As good or ill conceit the minde doth frame And this is commonly the vsuall course That ill doth waxe and growe from bad to worse Some-times a fa●se report is blowne abroad Of wrong which doth incense the hearts of men And then reuenge is like the hellish goade Which makes the wronged rouse him from his den That mischiefe often-times he brings to passe To quitte a wrong which neuer offred was Then wrong with wrong and bloud with bloud repai'd Makes euery place the stage of butcherie Whole families thus often are decai'd Oft kingdomes are thus wasted vtterlie For where one lawe of concord doth not binde Bellona still will vent for mallice finde As windes of heate or coolenesse doe partake With sands or waters where they lately pass●d As breath a sauour good or ill doth make As from the teeths Percullis it is cast So are our thoughts as our presumptions seeme O● as our iealousies do them esteeme When after seauenty yeares in bondage pass●d The Iewes had leaue their Citties to repaire Some ma●e-contents ●broad false rumors cast And forg'd strange tales to make them all dispaire But all deuices could not hinder them From building of the faire Ierusalem So England seeing many lets to muster If those be lets which euery fancie venteth And seeing from these lets new le ts do cluster Wher●by the world at Englands good relenteth The more should all to Vnitie incline In spite of those which at our weale repine The different iudgments of the Vnion And other discontentmens haue so wrought That Romists are imbould'ned here-vpon Of Brittaines discord to retaine a thought And to divulgate on a publike stage The brainsick vapours of the Romaine rage So wise a king such Councellers of state As at this day few kingdomes do maintaine T●e Romists prize them at so meane a rate That personall Quaeres they will not refraine Who with their Popes and Cardinals would be bold V●to the world strange stories might vnfold But for the scandall of the Christian weale Which labours now of her vnworthie guide Some Christian Satyre would such acts reueale As modestie hath heretofore denide Yet if the Romists daily shall prouoke They must expect a wel-deserued stroke Thy wrongs my deare Eliza shall inflame Those hidden sparkes which seeme extinguished Since by thy grace the Muses honour came They cannot heare thy honour blemished Eu'n they which of these times do most complaine In thy defence may sing a pleasing straine Thy due no honest Papist shall offend Some of their Popes haue rightly thee esteemed All they which do vnpartiall censure spend Of thy most princely vertues well haue deemed Though Parsons clamorous and fugitiues Would staine such princes and depraue their liues As for my Iames which sees his foes despite And tries the valour of approoued friends If with respect their seruice he requite They for their silence will make such amends That in her strength Rome shall assaulted be And at her doores al'armaes she shall see So cast a cause such bombast furniture Such proude brauadoes from Romes painted flourish These iustly may all Christians hate procure D●●esting falshood which blind zeale did nourish Who onely at his owne defence doth lie Such ward his owne defence shall not supply When Hanibal neere Rome his armie brought He put the Romans vnto more distresse Then at the siege of Carthage where he fought With all his power her thraldome to redresse So when the Popes V●aligon doth burne He well may feare t' will shortly be his turne So many towring wits incouraged So many souldiers readie for the charge Might soone throughout all Christendome be spred And might some Romane prisoners inlarge Since Rome by pamphlets al the world doth threaten With true reports shee 's worthie to be beaten The Romists and the Schismatickes agree To raile at those whose cause they cannot wrong The worthiest Prince from these cannot be free In subiects loue they will not haue them strong On th' one side Parsons Martins on the other All awfull loue of gouernours would smother And whilst thrice-famous England doth prepare To countermine the Romane policie VVhilst th' English in the front their strength declare Vpon their flanke the Schismatickes will flie So that they 'le giue assistance vnto Rome VVhich once victorious would worke their doome Then let conceits and idle groundlesse feares Be held as mutinies in armies raised Or like to haruest showers procuring teares Of those which would their timely helpe haue praised By others harmes let Britaines sects be warned VVhich till their ruine Concord haue not learned Though Brittaine like to famous Tyre do stand All moted by a neuer-failing riuer Though woodden walles her bayes coasts command Though Truth feare neither Rome nor Satans quiuer Yet if some pore-blind factions be not true Their fond diuision all the rest may rue What was the cause that Greece so soone had lost That great commaund which Alexander gained What great misfortune could so soone haue crost That power which throgh the world was not restrained How did her glorie suddenly decline Which in the view of all the world did shine Her riches and her prowesse did exceede All kingdomes of the world which then were knowne Her name did euery where great terrour breed And who withstood her headlong downe were throwne Yet want of Concord did her frame dissolue And she againe to weaknesse did reuolue Her captaines did themselues with broyles consume Which had conioyn'd themselues in forraine fight To th' Empire euery one would needs presume And euery one made equall claime of right As ships in whirlewinds quickly strike the saile So Greece did stoope when hers did her assayle And as the first great Emperour of Rome In greatest conflicts neuer was dismai'd But when he sawe that in his chiefest bloome By his disloyall friends he was betraid He hid his eyes and would not make defence But left the scourge to heau'n for this offence So Greece when she perceiu'd her home-bred iarres To waste her cities and her wealthie store She then foresawe that shortly forraine warres Should make her captiue which was queene before Then widow-like whose Lord and sonnes were slain Of Concords breach she onely did complaine Diuision both a breach and passage made First for the Roman after for the Turke Now Ottoman all Greece doth ouershade Where he the Christians ouerthrow doth worke Whose policie all Europe might
