All comfort els forclosde our exilde eyes.

Loe, loe, from hiest top, the slauish boy

Sent vp, with sight of land our harts to ioy,

Descries at hand whole[1348] flete of Easterlinges,

As then hote enemies of the British kinges:

The mouse may somtyme helpe the lyon in neede,

The byttle bee once spilt the aegle’s breede:

O princes, seeke no foes, in your distresse,

The earth, the seas conspire your heauinessse.
