And at it with wit’s best direction aime,

Rise to it royally from honor’s bed,

Iustly deserue it for thy deeds of fame:

Yet shall thy carefull brow nere beare the same,

If thou in that star-text of euery thing

Foredoom’d for fate, be not inrol’d a king.

3.

Of which that thou a lasting Mirror haue,

Behold me heere a wretched prince of yore,

To whom true birth a crowne and kingdome gaue,
