a League combine That traytorlike haue Crowned him a King Against his Soueraigne and Encomions sing For many good successes as they thriue In warlike Stratagems and doe contriue To raise more Forces send abroad to Friends Proposing stranger thinges for stranger ends Bohemia has a Prince borne in the Towne The Warres preuaile their Foes are beaten downe Our Ferdinand doth Droope Vienna standes As in a maze folding their Armes and handes The people throng in heapes and flocke a pace In euery Towne to hearken our Disgrace Bucquoy is beaten and Dampire is fled the Polish Cossacks they are slaine and Dead The Troopes are ouercome and in the Field Two thousand lost Foure hundred they did yeeld Anholt and Mansfuld had a glorious Day Besides reuolters who still runne away And leaue their Prince to serue a Strangers turne Oh that consuming Fier might them burne But heer 's not all for now to Vexe vs more Then either they or Wee thought of before They looke for Ayde from Brittaine Horse and Foote With vnbeleeued Sommes of Golde to boote Which London Heretickes of their free Guift For to disburse with Largenes haue made shift Nay when they heare Religion is the Cause They flocke amaine without or stop or pause But when they talke of Romes great ouerthrow They clap their handes for Ioy and so doe show Their Hate to Vs wishing no other Warre Nor recompence for all their Coyne Thus farre These heauy headed Dutch haue wrought their ends And doe increase as wee decay in Friends Caesario Then I perceiue it needes must end with blowes And if successe attend Our Lady knowes To what a mountaine of foule Prodegies Their Pride may rise to with their Victories But are you sure the Emperor hath sent For succour into Spaine as it was ment Rather to breake off Peace Leagues with all Then see the Austrian Diadem to fall And this me thinkes your Holinesse might moue By speciall Embassy and so reproue Their great retardance which hath giuen them leaue Refractary to growe as I conceiue Dominicke Then you conceiue amisse nor are you wise To make your Passion author of aduise Greatest Designes attend on Circumstance And sauerie Pollicie must them Aduance For if hee start from England as it stands Or breake the League with Hollands Netherlands How can Hee all these turnes supply together Or keepe his Nauy safe from raging weather Whereas to temporise and to renue A stronger League by Peace this may ensue That all those Forces which hee well can spare With so much Treasure as his Princely care May husband for this purpose shall be sent Vnto th' Imperiall Townes incontinent Then with some more Security they may From Naples Millaine Sicell March away Those trayned Garisons filling their roomes With other Spaniards and new come Groomes Yet take you heede this can but once bee done And that 's well ended which is well begun But marke their Passages so hard to finde As Swisse and Grisons proue to them vnkinde For if your Holines wish for a Brother No way but this You cannot name another From Millaine to Vienna must they goe Ouer fiue Mountaines full of Ice and Snowe And in the Summer which is strange to tell It is not for their Marches halfe so well Yet in extreames there is no remedy Patience beares out the greatest extacy Well let them goe health and good Spirits guide them And all the Saincts of Heauen goe beside them For I am sure whether they March or Troope The third man in the Trauaile needs must Droope Burghesius Then holy Sir your Legate send to France Who cannot but this Cause as much Aduance Or rather more For France is eldest Sonne Vnto our Rome and should with ease bee wonne Dominick Are you a Conclauist and know no more Of France her State you might haue heard before That Condyes Prince and others of esteeme Would with their bloods Religion redeeme And stand ' gainst all Edicts vpon their Guard Hoping at last to haue a good award Yet for all this hath Ferdinando Writ How euer Bolloigne did mislike of it That some Commaunder might him Forces bring With loue and liking of the youthfull King Nor did hee thus as barely without charge But in good Tearmes declare his minde at Large Most Noble Prince remember Charles the Great Supported Rome and got th' Imperiall Seate As of the Church only Protector cal'd Which was by Gothes and Saraceus enthral'd And thereupon is France the eldest Sonne And for true valour hath such honour wonne Then be not now to Catholicks vnkinde But let vs your Reliefe as Princely finde A second Inference he had from Blood Which seem'd amongst the Statists neer as good The Emperour was Vncle to the Queene As may within the Records well be seene This he enforst from bond of Amitie Arising out of Consanguinitie A third was Morall from protection Of other Princes in rejection Oh for to help distressed is a glory As you may read in many an ancient Story The fourth had ground vpon good Policie Of iust reuenge to scourge iniquitie Reuolts I meane and disobedience To lawfull Kings from a strong inference Of Treason in their soule enormous Crimes As hath appeared in all moderne Times The fift was taken from a Holy feare Least that the Turke might of these troubles heare And so the youth of Othoman awake Aduantages of our Distresse to take And then no doubt they might repent too late That e're they durst the Austrian house amate Burghesius And was not this well Vrg'd nay was it not A president for Princes to haue got Of excitation ' gainst so great a Foe That sure will worke more mischiefe and more woe If Poland heard of this or Russis If Denmarke Pomeran and Persia If Triple Crowned Brittaine knew it sure Hee would the same as forcible endure If Venice Sauoy Florence and the rest Were taught this Lesson they would count it best Yea eu'n the Cantons and the Snowy Vales Could not repute it as some olde wiues Tales But for the Good of Christian Nations The League make strong by Combinations Dominick I doe confesse it hath some outward show Of a preualent Reason But on to goe The dogged Duke of Bolloigne as I heare To Burbon and the rest a Dangerous Peere Hath answerd all Retorting Argument To Austria thus of greater Consequent Touching the First Religion is no Plea Nor Ferdinand did so affect our Sea But eu'n the Catholicks of best esteeme Were still enforst their Freedomes to redeeme Affrighted were with Cruelties and Pride Of Austrias house extended on each side Found Great Mathias sterne this man too heady Vnconstant Cruell and in Truth vnsteady And now they liue vnder this Nouelist More quiet farre as doing what they list The second with like reason Answer had The greatest Monarchies though ne'r so bad Were Fathers of their Kingdomes and to looke Vnto their Subjects Peace which they forsooke As Tyrants if they brought them to a Warre
