To make a conquest of the conqueror,
(As well shee might, would she hir force imploie)
She should vs saftie from these ills procure,
Hir crowne to hir, and to hir race assure.
Vnhappy he, in whome selfe-succour lies,
Yet self-forsaken wanting succour dies.
[Chorus.]
O swete fertile land, wherin
Phæbus did with breath inspire
Man who men did first begin,
