In one thine honour, and thy realm's content,

And make the Spanish name, too long confined,

Hold place supreme by general assent,

A king shall be, whose sound and thoughtful mind

On grand affairs is well and wisely bent;

His name through all the world he rules shall run,

The second Philip,[8] second yet to none.

Beneath his fortunate imperial hand

Three kingdoms once divided under stress

Again beneath one single crown shall stand,
