Our mother long perswading vs to peace,
And both perceiuing our attempts but vaine,
Did both agree our discordes to surcease,
And for to part the empire into twaine:
My selfe should holde of Europe all the maine
With th’isles thereof, and Geta all the East,
Of Asia all the [realmes and] islands most and least.

As thus we parle amongst the counsayle all,
And so decree, full purposed thereto,
