Arthur and his Line What once was wonne by valiant Constantine Now sounds his Drumme a march in chearfull sort Now his loud winded Trumpets checke the aire And now the Britaines to him do resort Not fearing warres affliction or despaire But all with one voyce promise victorie To Arthur King of famous Britainy His Colours they are wauing in the wind Wherein is wrought his Armes of ancestrie His Pendants are in formall wise assign'd Q●artred at large by well read Heraldrie Cuffing the ayre that struggles for to kisse The gaudinesse of faire King Arthurs blisse Within his spreading Ensigne first he bore Allotted from his royall familie Three flying Dragons and three Crownes he wore Portraid de Or the field of Azure die His fathers Coate his Mothers Countries grace His honors Badge his cruell foes deface At last vnto himselfe he hath assumpted And tooke to Armes proper to his desire As in his faithfull mind being best accounted And fitting to those thoughts he did require A crosse of Siluer in a field of Vert A gracious Embleame to his great desert On the first quart●r of this field was figured The image of our Ladie with her Sonne Held in her armes this he desired Wherein his new-growne valour was begonne And bearing this same Figure forth right nobly Did maruellous Actes and feates of Chiualrie This Signe in elder ages being odious And hated of the bad deseruing mind By his deare blood is made most pretious Our vnpure Sinne by him being full refind A great triumphant Signe a Signe of ioy A blessed Crosse to free vs from annoy To this the righteous man bowes downe his head And this the heauenly Angels do ●dore By this our vnpure soules with life is fed And Diuels fearing this do much d●plore Hereon he vanquisht Sathan Hell and Sinne And by this Signe our new-life we begin Wise learned Historiographers do write That this pure Signe of the most holy Crosse Was sent from God to Mercuries delight Iulian the Apost●ta's onely losse And that an Angell brought to Mercurie All Armour for his backe most necessarie A Shield of Azure herein coloured A flowrie Crosse betweene two golden Roses That the prowd Iewes minds much distempred Whose vertue in it selfe true Time encloses A rich wrought Shield and a most heauenly Armour That to the proud Foe strucke a deadly terrour And in the time of Charles the seuenth french King The Sunne giuing glorie to the dim-fac'd Morne When early rising Birds alowd did sing And faire cleare clouds the Element did adorne To Englishmen and French from heauen was sent A milke-white Crosse within the Firmament Which heauenly Signe of both these nations seene The haughtie French mou'd with rebellion Against their lawfull King and true-borne Queene Began to yeeld their true submission And tooke it as a great admonishment And Sigue betok'ning bitter detriment Thus we may see that the Religion Which they conceiued of this blessed sight Altred their minds to veneration And mollified their harts then full of spight Yeelding vnto their Prince obedience And true submission for their great offence This sight of honor to the French Kings fame They did behold a spectacle to Fraunce At the same time when the third Edward came And in the land his colours did aduaunce Sending to Clodoueus then their King Which there became a Christian by Baptizing Haec sunt Francorum celebranda insignia Regum Quae demissa polo sustinet almafides Et nobis coelica dona Et pia Francorum placeant insignia Regum Aurea coelesti primum suffulta colore Lilia Caesarijs olim iam credita ceruis Auri flammadehinc veterum victoria Regum And euer since great Clodoueus raigne They did remaine as Ensignes to that Nation Where still before three Toades they did sustaine Their onely pourtraiture of commendation By honor to the English Kings pertaining That conquer'd Fraunce when all their pride was waining His barbed Horses beat the yeelding ground And with their neighing terrifide their foe Prowd of their riders in whose harts are found A promise to the Romanes ouerthrow The glistering shine of their well-fashion'd armour Tels all men here doth ride a Conquerour Their Armour strongly made and firmely wrought Not to the vse of old decayed Time Who with their guilded shewes are good for nought But like to stonie wals not made with lime The Brytaines went not proudly armoured But strong as scorning to be conquered In Calis he his colours doth aduance Who all for feare do entertaine this Prince And passeth through the regiment of France And doth with puissance the French conuince Still marching vp to Paris and to Roane Bringing that Countrie in subiection And hauing got his Title and his Name A Title got with famous victorie He marcheth forward to enlarge his Fame Leauing faire France in his authoritie By sword and clemencie he conquer'd Island And wonne by famous warre the land of Gothland Now more and more his armie doth increase And mightie Kings do offer him their aide So in the country they might liue in peace His warlike followers so their minds dismaid The name of Arthur King of Britanie Hath fear'd the Romish force from Italy At last he comes to meete his enemie High-harted Lucius that his letters sent To great Carleon with such Maiestie That stiff●ly did demaund a base intent But now he wisht King Arthur were away For feare he lost the Honor of the day The Britaines valour was so admirable As when a Lion meeteth with his Pray King Arthurs courage so inestimable That nere a Romaine durst his strength assay But like the dust with wind did take their flight Yeelding by Warre what they demaund by Might Here lay a heape of Romans slaughtered Trode vnder foote by proud victorious Steedes And here one Friend another murthered Not able for to helpe him in his neede Here bruised Souldiers that alowd did cry Braue Arthur helpe vs in our miserie And after he had wonne so great a Field And ouerthrew the Romaine Lucius He pardon'd those that graciously would yeeld And leaue their Leader proud Tiberius Who left his men for feare and would not fight But hid himselfe in darknesse of the Night This base retraite and glorious Victorie To Arthurs honours and Tiberius shame Was spred through Rome through France through Italy An extollation to the Bry●ish name Who forraged about yet all did flie Till Arthur tooke them to his pitying mercie Forward towards Rome these Britaines make their way Sounding Defiance as they passe along Their conquering Ensignes still they do display In Armes and hautie courage passing strong All Cities offer peace all Townes submit To Arthurs greatnesse as a thing most fit But as they passe huge Mirmedons do striue Surnamed Giants for to stop this King And vow by Paganisme by which they thriue His bodie in Oceanus to fling And daunt his followers who as Fame hath said Of great bigge monstrous men were not afraid At last they march vpon a large
